Find the roots
h1=−34,h2=0
Alternative Form
h1=−1.3˙,h2=0
Evaluate
(4h3)(−4h2−3h3)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(4h3)(−4h2−3h3)=0
Multiply the terms
4h3(−4h2−3h3)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
h3(−4h2−3h3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
h3=0−4h2−3h3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
h=0−4h2−3h3=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
−4h2−3h3=0
Factor the expression
−h2(4+3h)=0
Divide both sides
h2(4+3h)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
h2=04+3h=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
h=04+3h=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
4+3h=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3h=0−4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3h=−4
Divide both sides
33h=3−4
Divide the numbers
h=3−4
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
h=−34
h=0h=−34
h=0h=0h=−34
Find the union
h=0h=−34
Solution
h1=−34,h2=0
Alternative Form
