Chapter 6: Q. 423 (page 636)

Use the Zero Product Property in following exercises and solve.
$(5 b + 1) (6 b + 1) = 0$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution of the given expression are $b = \frac{- 1}{5} a n d \frac{- 1}{6}$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given and explanation.

We have $(5 b + 1) (6 b + 1) = 0$

We know that the zero product property states that if , then either of the factors, both are equal t zero.

So putting them equal to zero will give us the values.

Step 2. Evaluating the values.

We have $(5 b + 1) (6 b + 1) = 0$

Putting them equal to zero gives us,

$5 b + 1 = 0 5 b = - 1 b = \frac{- 1}{5}$
$6 b + 1 = 0 6 b = - 1 b = \frac{- 1}{6}$

This shows that values are $\frac{- 1}{5} a n d \frac{- 1}{6}$ .

Step 3. Check the solution.

We will check the solution by putting the value of the solution in the equation separately. If the equation satisfies, our answer is right.

When $b = \frac{- 1}{5}$
$[(5 脳 \frac{- 1}{5}) + 1] [(6 脳 \frac{- 1}{5}) + 1] = 0 [- 1 + 1] [\frac{- 6}{5} + 1] = 0 (0) (\frac{- 1}{5}) = 0 0 = 0$
Hence satisfied.
When $b = \frac{- 1}{6}$
$[(5 脳 \frac{- 1}{6}) + 1] [(6 脳 \frac{- 1}{6}) + 1] = 0 [\frac{- 5}{6} + 1] [- 1 + 1] = 0 (\frac{1}{5}) (0) = 0 0 = 0$
Hence satisfied.

Thus our calculations are right.
