Find the roots
v1=0,v2=2
Evaluate
(3v4)(2v−4)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(3v4)(2v−4)=0
Multiply the terms
3v4(2v−4)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
v4(2v−4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
v4=02v−4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
v=02v−4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2v−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2v=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2v=4
Divide both sides
22v=24
Divide the numbers
v=24
