If xy=0 what must be true about either x or y?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anettt [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D. either x or y must equal 0​

Step-by-step explanation:

Its given that xy = 0

Remember that product of two numbers can be zero only if:

Both of them are zero or Either of them is zero as zero multiplied to any non-zero number will always be equal to zero. This is known as Zero Product Property.

So, if the product of x and y is equal to 0 there are two possibilities:

  • Both x and y are equal to 0
  • Either x or y must be equal to 0

Note that the condition both x and y are equal to zero is not a must condition, because even if one of them is equal to zero, the entire expression will be equal to zero.

Hence, the condition which has to be true in all cases for xy = 0 is:

D. either x or y must equal 0​

Crank
When working with percents, don't divide them, because it will give you the wrong answer. So you must find the equivalent of the percent you're working with in decimal form, then multiply it by your number.
So, you would do 550 X .24 which equals 132 customers.

Factor this equation.
vichka [17]
8x⁵ + 4x² - 12

All numbers are divisible by 4, so we put 4 on the outside of the parenthesis.

So, when doing that, all you have to do is divide everything by 4.

4(2x⁵ + x² - 3)

So, your answer is the first answer choice.
