Q. Solve for ss.\newline(s+9)(s+5)=0(s + 9)(s + 5) = 0\newlineWrite your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.\newlines=s = _____ or s=s = _____
  1. Identify Property: Identify the property to use in solving the given equation.\newlineProperty: Zero product property, which states that if the product of two factors is 00, then at least one of the factors must be 00.
  2. Apply Zero Product Property: Apply the zero product property to (s+9)(s+5)=0(s + 9)(s + 5) = 0.\newlineSet each factor equal to zero: \newline(s+9)=0(s + 9) = 0 and (s+5)=0(s + 5) = 0.
  3. Solve for ss (s+9)=0(s + 9) = 0: Solve for ss in the equation (s+9)=0(s + 9) = 0.\newlineSubtract 99 from both sides of the equation to isolate ss.\newlines+99=09s + 9 - 9 = 0 - 9\newlines=9s = -9
  4. Solve for ss (s+5)=0(s + 5) = 0: Solve for ss in the equation (s+5)=0(s + 5) = 0.\newlineSubtract 55 from both sides of the equation to isolate ss.\newlines+55=05s + 5 - 5 = 0 - 5\newlines=5s = -5
