The zero product property tells us that if the product of two or more factors is zero, then each one of these factors CAN be zero.
For more context let's look at the first equation in the problem that we can apply this to:

Through zero property we know that the factor

can be equal to zero as well as

. This is because, even if only one of them is zero, the product will immediately be zero.
The zero product property is best applied to
factorable quadratic equations in this case.
Another factorable equation would be

since we can factor out

and end up with

. Now we'll end up with two factors,

and

, which we can apply the zero product property to.
The rest of the options are not factorable thus the zero product property won't apply to them.
Answer:
a = 9
b = 19
Step-by-step explanation:
DO B FIRST
The mean is the average of all the terms (numbers) in the sequence
To find the average you find the sum of the terms and divided the sum by the number of terms there are.
The mean times the number of terms equals the sum of all the terms subtract the terms that you know from the sum to get A
a = 17(10)-7-12-15-17-19-20-22-24-25
a = 170-161
a = 9
The median is found by taking the average of the two middle terms
Our middle terms are 17 and B
the median times 2 equals the sum of the two terms and then subtract the term you know from the sum
b = 18(2)-17
b = 36-17
b = 19
I think that Devon swam at least 35 minutes each day for 5 days because if he exercised 225 minutes and each day he walked for 10 minutes then if you divide 225 by 5 you get 45 so every day he exercised 45 minutes and since he walked for 10 minutes you subtract 10 from 45 which gives you 35 so he swam for 35 minutes.
Answer:
A = $18,326.00
(assuming simple interest)
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming simple interest, the following formula applies:
final amount = (principal amount) x [1 + (annual rate)(time elapsed) ]
or
A = P (1 + rt)
in our case,
P = $7,700
r = 5.75% = 0.0575
t = 24 years
hence,
A = 7700 [ 1 + (0.0575)(24)]
A = 7700 ( 1 + 1.38)
A = 7700 x 2.38
A = $18,326.00
