Find the roots
x1=0,x2=27
Evaluate
(5x2)(x2−3x×9)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(5x2)(x2−3x×9)=0
Multiply the terms
5x2(x2−3x×9)=0
Multiply the terms
5x2(x2−27x)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x2(x2−27x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=0x2−27x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x2−27x=0

Evaluate
x−27=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+27
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=27
x=0x=27
x=0x=0x=27
Find the union
x=0x=27
