Solve (2x-1)(x^3)

Evaluate

(2 x - 1) (x^{3})

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

(2 x - 1) (x^{3}) = 0

Calculate

(2 x - 1) x^{3} = 0

Multiply the terms

x^{3} (2 x - 1) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x^{3} = 0 2 x - 1 = 0

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

x = 0 2 x - 1 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

x = 0 x = \frac{1}{2}

Solution

x_{1} = 0, x_{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} = 0, x_{2} = 0.5
