Part A
Either Nathan picked 0, or Sonia picked 0, or both.
This is because multiplying nonzero numbers together gets a nonzero result. So one of them must have picked 0.
==============================================================
Part B
It's the same idea as part A. It's not clear what the nonzero values are, but one (or more) person picked 0 as their secret number.
If they picked something like 1, 2 and 3, then the product is 1*2*3 = 6 which is nonzero and the product is larger than the three original values. This is because each value is 1 or larger. If someone picked a small decimal value like 0.1 then 0.1*2*3 = 0.6 is the product. It's closer to 0, but not 0 itself.
==============================================================
Part C
Zero Product Property:
If m*n = 0, then either m = 0 or n = 0 or both.
This idea says that if the product of two numbers is 0, then at least one of the numbers must be 0 itself. It can be extended to three or more numbers.
This idea is useful when it comes to solving factored quadratic equations.
In the case of 2x^2 + 5x - 12, it factors to (2x-3)(x+4)
So using the zero product property, we can solve the quadratic equation like this
2x^2 + 5x - 12 = 0
(2x-3)(x+4) = 0
2x-3 = 0 or x+4 = 0
2x = 3 or x = -4
x = 3/2 = 1.5 or x = -4
The use of the zero product property happens in step 3
To answer, allow the width of the frame to be represented by x. The dimensions of the frame should then be, 11+2x and 6+2x. Subtracting the area of the inside of the frame from the area of the outside should be able to give us 18 cm². The equation,
(11 + 2x)(6 + 2x) - (11)(6) = 18
The value of x from the equation is equal to 0.5. Thus, the width of the frame should be 0.5 cm.
