Solve (-1/3)(x-1)(x^4)

Evaluate

(- \frac{1}{3}) (x - 1) (x^{4})

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

(- \frac{1}{3}) (x - 1) (x^{4}) = 0

Remove the parentheses

- \frac{1}{3} (x - 1) (x^{4}) = 0

Calculate

- \frac{1}{3} (x - 1) x^{4} = 0

Multiply the terms

- \frac{1}{3} x^{4} (x - 1) = 0

Change the sign

\frac{1}{3} x^{4} (x - 1) = 0

Elimination the left coefficient

x^{4} (x - 1) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x^{4} = 0 x - 1 = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

x = 0 x - 1 = 0

Solve the equation
