Question
For the following problems, use the zero-factor property to solve the equations.$$y(y-1)=0$$
Step 1
The zero-factor property states that if a product of factors is equal to zero, then at least one of the factors must be equal to zero. In this case, we have two factors: y and (y-1). So, either y = 0 or (y-1) = 0. Show more…
