Question

T object]user: solve y2 4y – 32 = 0 using the zero product property

Answer 1

The zero product property means that 0a=0.


(I'm assuming that by y2 you mean y squared btw)


$y^{2} 4y - 32 = 0$ 


$4y - 32 = \frac{0}{ y^{2} }$


the zero divided by y is zero:


$4y - 32 = 0$


move the 4y


$-32 = 4y$

$\frac{-32}{4} = y$


$y = -8$

Hope that helps!
