Find the roots
x1=−73,x2=0
Alternative Form
x1=−0.4˙28571˙,x2=0
Evaluate
(x3)(−7x−3)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x3)(−7x−3)=0
Calculate
x3(−7x−3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=0−7x−3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0−7x−3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
−7x−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−7x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−7x=3
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
7x=−3
Divide both sides
77x=7−3
Divide the numbers
x=7−3
