Solution for (u-1)(u-5)=0 equation:


Simplifying
(u + -1)(u + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + u)(u + -5) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(-1 + u)(-5 + u) = 0

Multiply (-1 + u) * (-5 + u)
(-1(-5 + u) + u(-5 + u)) = 0
((-5 * -1 + u * -1) + u(-5 + u)) = 0
((5 + -1u) + u(-5 + u)) = 0
(5 + -1u + (-5 * u + u * u)) = 0
(5 + -1u + (-5u + u2)) = 0

Combine like terms: -1u + -5u = -6u
(5 + -6u + u2) = 0

Solving
5 + -6u + u2 = 0

Solving for variable 'u'.

Factor a trinomial.
(1 + -1u)(5 + -1u) = 0

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(1 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -1u = 0 Solving 1 + -1u = 0 Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -1u = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -1u = 0 + -1 -1u = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -1u = -1 Divide each side by '-1'. u = 1 Simplifying u = 1

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(5 + -1u)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 5 + -1u = 0 Solving 5 + -1u = 0 Move all terms containing u to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-5' to each side of the equation. 5 + -5 + -1u = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 5 + -5 = 0 0 + -1u = 0 + -5 -1u = 0 + -5 Combine like terms: 0 + -5 = -5 -1u = -5 Divide each side by '-1'. u = 5 Simplifying u = 5

Solution

u = {1, 5}
