Chapter 9.4, Problem 15P

Solve by factoring.

$d^2=5d$

To determine

To calculate: In case the question requires us to solve the equation by factorization

Answer to Problem 15P

The solution of the given equation is $d=0,-5$

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Consider the given equation,

  $d^2=5d$

Calculation : the solution for the following equation will be,

  $d^2=5d$

  $d^2-5d=0$

  $d(d-5)=0$

  $d=0$ and $d-5=0$

  $d=0,-5$

Therefore, the solution of the given equation is $d=0,-5$
