Solve for q.

(q − 9)(q − 2) = 0

Write your answers as integers or as proper or improper fractions in simplest form.

q=9    q=2

Step-by-step explanation:

(q − 9)(q − 2) = 0

Using the zero product property

q-9 = 0   q-2=0

Solving each equation

q=9    q=2

A) The value of x has to be 0. The only way to get a number to 1, (any number other than 1) is to make the power 0

B) x could be any number. Because 7^0 is 1, we know that 1 to the power of any number is still 1.
