Solve for uu where u(u6)=0u(u-6)=0. Write the solutions as integers or simplified fractions.

STEP 1

1. The equation u(u6)=0u(u-6)=0 is a quadratic equation in standard form.
2. The Zero Product Property states that if a product of two factors is zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.
3. The solutions for uu can be integers or fractions in simplest form.

STEP 2

1. Apply the Zero Product Property to solve for uu.
2. Simplify the solutions to their simplest form.

STEP 3

Apply the Zero Product Property, which states that if a product equals zero, then at least one of the factors must be zero.
u(u6)=0u=0 or (u6)=0 u(u-6) = 0 \Rightarrow u = 0 \text{ or } (u-6) = 0

STEP 4

Solve the first equation u=0u = 0.
u=0 u = 0

STEP 5

Solve the second equation (u6)=0(u-6) = 0 for uu.
u6=0u=6 u - 6 = 0 \Rightarrow u = 6

STEP 6

Write the solutions for uu in simplest form.
The solutions from STEP_2 and STEP_3 are already in simplest form, as they are integers.
u=0 or u=6 u = 0 \text{ or } u = 6
The solutions for uu are:
u=0 u = 0
 or u=6 \text{ or } u = 6
