Question 2567: how do you use zero product property to solve an equation like: (x-3)(x-2)=0? Found 2 solutions by kiru_khandelwal, longjonsilver:Answer by kiru_khandelwal(79) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For an equation like (x-3)(x-2) = 0
Zero product property means that the value of x shud be such that either (x-3) = 0 or (x-2) = 0, because then only the product will be 0
x-3 will be zero when x=3
and x-2 will be zero when x=2
therefore, (x-3)(x-2) = 0 has solution 3,2
To give zero when multiplied, one of the 2 numbers MUST be zero... so (x-3)(x-2)=0. One of (x-3) or (x-2) must be zero. Which one? Could be either, so we have to say that:
