Find the roots
y1=0,y2=1
Evaluate
(4y−4)(4y6)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(4y−4)(4y6)=0
Multiply the terms
(4y−4)×4y6=0
Multiply the terms
4y6(4y−4)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
y6(4y−4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
y6=04y−4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
y=04y−4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

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