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
Multiply the terms

Evaluate
x2×x
Use the product rule an×am=an+m to simplify the expression
x2+1
Add the numbers
x3
x(x3−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0x3−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x3−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x3=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x3=1
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3x3=31
Calculate
x=31
Simplify the root
x=1
x=0x=1
Solution
x1=0,x2=1
