Question
Solve the equation
x1=−46,x2=0,x3=46
Alternative Form
x1≈−0.612372,x2=0,x3≈0.612372
Evaluate
3x3−8x5=0
Factor the expression
x3(3−8x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=03−8x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=03−8x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3−8x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−8x2=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−8x2=−3
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
8x2=3
Divide both sides
88x2=83
Divide the numbers
x2=83
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±83
