How many solutions does the equation have?41 pl = 0

Answer :

We want to know how many solution the equation below has;

[tex]4|p|=0[/tex]

Firstly, divide both side by 4, we have;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4|p|}{4}=\frac{0}{4} \\ |p|=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Recall that ;

[tex]|p|=\pm p[/tex]

So;

[tex]\begin{gathered} \pm p=0 \\ p=\pm0 \\ p=0 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the equation has only one solution, which is;

[tex]p=0[/tex]
