Subproblem 1
Set the factor 'p2' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
p2 = 0

Solving
p2 = 0

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Simplifying
p2 = 0

Take the square root of each side:
p = {0}
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + p3)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + p3 = 0

Solving
1 + p3 = 0

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + p3 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + p3 = 0 + -1
p3 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
p3 = -1

Simplifying
p3 = -1

Subproblem 3
Set the factor '(1 + -1p3)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
1 + -1p3 = 0

Solving
1 + -1p3 = 0

Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1p3 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1p3 = 0 + -1
-1p3 = 0 + -1

Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1p3 = -1

Divide each side by '-1'.
p3 = 1

Simplifying
p3 = 1

The solution to this equation could not be determined.
