-$(4 y+9)(8 y+17)=0$
A) 5,9
B) $-\frac{9}{4},-\frac{17}{8}$
C) $\frac{9}{4}, \frac{17}{8}$
D) $-\frac{4}{5},-\frac{8}{17}$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The principle of zero products states that if the product of two expressions is zero, then at least one of the expressions must be zero. Solving each expression for $y$ gives $y = -\frac{9}{4}$ and $y = -\frac{17}{8}$.

Solve Using the Principle of Zero Products (4y+9)(8y+17)=0(4 y+9)(8 y+17)=0(4y+9)(8y+17)=0 A) 5,9 B)
