Q. Solve for z. z2−46z=0Write each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas. z=__
Factor out common factor: Factor out the common factor z. We notice that both terms in the equation z2−46z=0 have a common factor of z. We can factor out z from both terms to simplify the equation. z(z−46)=0
Set factors equal: Set each factor equal to zero to find the values of z. Since the product of two factors is zero, at least one of the factors must be zero. Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for z. z=0 or z−46=0
Solve for z: Solve the second equation z−46=0 for z. Adding 46 to both sides of the equation z−46=0 gives us: z=46
