Find the roots
x1=0,x2=1
Evaluate
(1×x)(1−x×x2)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(1×x)(1−x×x2)=0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
x(1−x×x2)=0
Multiply the terms

Evaluate
x×x2
Use the product rule an×am=an+m to simplify the expression
x1+2
Add the numbers
x3
x(1−x3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=01−x3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−x3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x3=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x3=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x3=1
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=31
Calculate
x=31
Simplify the root
x=1
x=0x=1
Solution
x1=0,x2=1
