(4x3−12)(x3)=0
Calculate
(4x3−12)x3=0
Multiply the terms
x3(4x3−12)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=04x3−12=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=04x3−12=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4x3−12=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4x3=0+12
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4x3=12
Divide both sides
44x3=412
