Find the roots
c1=0,c2=1
Evaluate
(3c−3)(c4)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(3c−3)(c4)=0
Calculate
(3c−3)c4=0
Multiply the terms
c4(3c−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
c4=03c−3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
c=03c−3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3c−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3c=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3c=3
Divide both sides
33c=33
Divide the numbers
c=33
