Find the roots
x1=0,x2=3
Evaluate
(x5)(x−3)2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x5)(x−3)2=0
Calculate
x5(x−3)2=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x5=0(x−3)2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0(x−3)2=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
(x−3)2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x−3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=3
x=0x=3
Solution
x1=0,x2=3
