Solve (a-1)(a^4)-(a^2)(a^3)

Evaluate

(a - 1) (a^{4}) - (a^{2}) (a^{3})

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

(a - 1) (a^{4}) - (a^{2}) (a^{3}) = 0

Calculate

(a - 1) a^{4} - (a^{2}) (a^{3}) = 0

Calculate

(a - 1) a^{4} - a^{2} (a^{3}) = 0

Calculate

(a - 1) a^{4} - a^{2} \times a^{3} = 0

Multiply the terms

a^{4} (a - 1) - a^{2} \times a^{3} = 0

Multiply the terms

More Steps

a^{4} (a - 1) - a^{5} = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- a^{4} = 0

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

a^{4} = 0

Solution

a = 0
