Question

P^2– 7p = 8 factor this using the zero product property. best response gets marked brainliest.

Answer 1

Answer: p=8,−1

Step-by-step explanation:

p^2-7p--8=0

(p-8)(p+1)=0

p=8,−1

Answer 2

Answer:

The solution set of p^2– 7p = 8 is {-1, 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite p^2– 7p = 8 as p^2– 7p - 8 = 0 (standard quadratic form).

Factoring is relatively straightforward here:  (p - 8)(p + 1) = 0

Here we have a zero product equal to zero.  Thus, we can create two equations based on these two factors:  (p - 8) = 0 and (p +1) = 0.  The first equation yields p = 8 and the second p = -1.

The solution set of p^2– 7p = 8 is {-1, 8}
