Answer:

The product of two numbers is 0 - hypotheses

At least one of the numbers must be 0 -conclusion

Explanation:

The statement given in the question is a conditional statement because of the if and then factors attached to it. From this conditional statement, a hypothesis and conclusion can be derived. A hypothetical statement unlike a conclusive statement does not have a tone of finality to it. A hypothetical statement is subject to tests to prove its trueness after which a conclusion can be made.

It is indeed true that one of the numbers must be zero if the product of two numbers is zero.

Example: a * 0 =0

110 * 0 = 0
