Solve (9b^5)-(8b^4)

Evaluate

(9 b^{5}) - (8 b^{4})

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

(9 b^{5}) - (8 b^{4}) = 0

Multiply the terms

9 b^{5} - (8 b^{4}) = 0

Multiply the terms

9 b^{5} - 8 b^{4} = 0

Factor the expression

b^{4} (9 b - 8) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

b^{4} = 0 9 b - 8 = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

b = 0 9 b - 8 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

b = 0 b = \frac{8}{9}

Solution

b_{1} = 0, b_{2} = \frac{8}{9}

Alternative Form

b_{1} = 0, b_{2} = 0. \dot{8}
