Find the roots
x1=0,x2=2
Evaluate
(x3)(3x−6)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x3)(3x−6)=0
Calculate
x3(3x−6)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=03x−6=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=03x−6=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3x−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3x=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3x=6
Divide both sides
33x=36
Divide the numbers
x=36
