Solve (q-1)(q^2)(q^2)

Evaluate

(q - 1) (q^{2}) (q^{2})

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

(q - 1) (q^{2}) (q^{2}) = 0

Calculate

(q - 1) q^{2} (q^{2}) = 0

Calculate

(q - 1) q^{2} \times q^{2} = 0

Multiply the terms

More Steps

q^{4} (q - 1) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

q^{4} = 0 q - 1 = 0

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

q = 0 q - 1 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

q = 0 q = 1

Solution

q_{1} = 0, q_{2} = 1
