Question

If (a) (b) = 0 then a = 0 and b = 0 or a = b = 0. This states what law? Answer:​

Answer 1

Answer: Zero Product Property

Explanation:

Answer 2

Well, am not sure if am correct, if a = 0 and if b = 0, then both terms have the same value. The law this equation ab = 0 is following is called Zero Product Property.

Explanation:

a x b

Suppose a x b = 0

Then either a = 0 or b = 0

so these are the two possible cases.

1. 0 x b = 0

2. a x 0 = 0

Therefore, the product of the a and b is equal to zero when a is equal to zero or b is equal to zero. This rule is the zero product property.
