Theory - Roots of a product
4.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.2 Solve : 7x = 0
Divide both sides of the equation by 7:
x = 0
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
4.3 Solve : x-7 = 0
Add 7 to both sides of the equation :
x = 7
