What is the Zero Product Principle? and give a example?
The Zero Product Principle says that if there is a product of two number that is equal to zero, than or the first, or the second (or both) has to be zero.
It is useful if an equation has to be solved.
e.g.: (x−5)(x+6)(x−3)=0
then: x=5 or x=−6 or x=3
If two numbers are multiplied together and the answer is zero then either one of them is zero or both numbers are zero.
This Principle is true in all of the number systems studied in elementary Mathematics
The Zero Product Principle says that if there is a product of two number that is equal to zero, than or the first, or the second (or both) has to be zero.
i.e If two numbers are multiplied together and the answer is zero then either one of them is zero or both numbers are zero.
