Q. Solve for ss.\newline18s211s=018s^2 - 11s = 0\newlineWrite each solution as an integer, proper fraction, or improper fraction in simplest form. If there are multiple solutions, separate them with commas.\newlines=s = ____
  1. Factor GCF and Equate: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of 18s218s^2 and 11s-11s is ss. Factor out ss from each term in the equation 18s211s=018s^2 - 11s = 0. s(18s11)=0s(18s - 11) = 0
  2. Apply Zero-Product Property: Apply the zero-product property.\newlineFor the product of factors to be zero, at least one of the factors must be zero.\newlineTherefore, set each factor equal to zero and solve for ss.\newlines=0s = 0 and 18s11=018s - 11 = 0
  3. Solve for s=0s = 0: Solve the first equation.s=0s = 0 is already solved.
  4. Solve for s=1118s = \frac{11}{18}: Solve the second equation.18s11=018s - 11 = 0Add 1111 to both sides to isolate the term with ss.18s=1118s = 11Divide both sides by 1818 to solve for ss.s=1118s = \frac{11}{18}
