Show Solution

Find the roots
j1=−52,j2=0
Alternative Form
j1=−0.4,j2=0
Evaluate
j−15j3−3j2−2j
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
j−15j3−3j2−2j=0
Find the domain
More Steps

Evaluate
j−1=0
Move the constant to the right side
j=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
j=1

More Steps

Evaluate
5j2+2j
Rewrite the expression
j×5j+j×2
Factor out j from the expression
j(5j+2)
j(5j+2)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
j=05j+2=0
Solve the equation for j
More Steps

Evaluate
5j+2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5j=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5j=−2
Divide both sides
55j=5−2
Divide the numbers
j=5−2
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
