Find the roots
x1=0,x2=1
Evaluate
(x×1)(x2−x×1)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x×1)(x2−x×1)=0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
x(x2−x×1)=0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
x(x2−x)=0

Evaluate
x2−x
Rewrite the expression
x×x−x
Factor out x from the expression
x(x−1)
x(x−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
x=0x−1=0
Solve the equation for x
More Steps

Evaluate
x−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=1
x=0x=1
x=0x=0x=1
Find the union
x=0x=1
