Find the roots
x1=1,x2=325
Alternative Form
x1=1,x2≈2.924018
Evaluate
(x3−1)(x3−25)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x3−1)(x3−25)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3−1=0x3−25=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=1x3−25=0
