Find the roots
c1=0,c2=21
Alternative Form
c1=0,c2=0.5
Evaluate
(4c−2)(4c2)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(4c−2)(4c2)=0
Multiply the terms
(4c−2)×4c2=0
Multiply the terms
4c2(4c−2)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
c2(4c−2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
c2=04c−2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
c=04c−2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4c−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4c=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4c=2
Divide both sides
44c=42
Divide the numbers
c=42
Cancel out the common factor 2
c=21
c=0c=21
Solution
c1=0,c2=21
Alternative Form
c1=0,c2=0.5
