Solving an equation written in factored form
Solve.
\[
(4-v)(4 v-9)=0
\]
\[
v=
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the equation \((4-v)(4v-9)=0\), we need to use the zero-product property, which states that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero and solve for \(v\).
Solution Approach
Set each factor equal to zero: \(4-v=0\) and \(4v-9=0\).
Solve each equation for \(v\).
Step 1: Apply the Zero-Product Property
Given the equation \((4-v)(4v-9)=0\), we use the zero-product property, which states that if the product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero. Therefore, we set each factor equal to zero:
\[
4 - v = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad 4v - 9 = 0
\]
Step 2: Solve Each Equation
Solve the first equation for \(v\):
\[
4 - v = 0 \implies v = 4
\]
Solve the second equation for \(v\):
\[
4v - 9 = 0 \implies 4v = 9 \implies v = \frac{9}{4}
\]
