Question

solve.
(u - 1)(u - 2) = 0
(if there is more than one solution, separate them with

Explanation:

Step1: Apply zero - product property

The zero - product property states that if \(ab = 0\), then either \(a=0\) or \(b = 0\) (or both). For the equation \((u - 1)(u - 2)=0\), we set each factor equal to zero.
First, set \(u - 1=0\).

Step2: Solve \(u - 1 = 0\)

To solve for \(u\), we add 1 to both sides of the equation \(u - 1=0\). So, \(u=1\).

Step3: Set the second factor equal to zero

Next, set \(u - 2 = 0\).

Step4: Solve \(u - 2=0\)

To solve for \(u\), we add 2 to both sides of the equation \(u - 2 = 0\). So, \(u = 2\).

Answer:

\(1,2\)
