Find the roots
x1=0,x2=1
Evaluate
(4x−4)(x5)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(4x−4)(x5)=0
Calculate
(4x−4)x5=0
Multiply the terms
x5(4x−4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x5=04x−4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=04x−4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4x−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x=4
Divide both sides
44x=44
Divide the numbers
x=44
