Solve z^2-2z-35=0 using zero product

z = 7 or z=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to factor the polynomial.

To factor  - 2z -35       You will need to find two numbers that their product is -35 and their sum is -2  and the numbers -7 and 5  works out.

Rewrite the polynomial as,

- 7z + 5z - 35  = 0   factor the left by grouping

( -7z) (5z -35)  = 0

z(z -7)  5(z - 7) = 0      Factor out z-7

(z-7)(z+5) = 0        Now apply the zero product by setting each of them equal 0.

z-7= 0      or  z+5=0

 +7  +7             -5  -5

z = 7     or  z= -5  

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
