Since the product is zero, one of the factors must be zero.
Therefor s=0 or s+3=0
Solutions: s=0 or s=-3

solve using the princible of zero products 0 = s(s + 3) One of the factors s and/or (s + 3) must be 0 since their product is zero Case 1: s = 0 Case 2: s + 3 = 0 or s = -3 So there are two possible solutions, s = 0 and s = -3 Checking s = 0 0 = s(s + 3) 0 = 0(0 + 3) 0 = 0(3) 0 = 0 checking s = -3 0 = s(s + 3) 0 = -3(-3 + 3) 0 = -3(0) 0 = 0 Edwin AnlytcPhil@aol.com
