Find the roots
x1=0,x2=4
Evaluate
(x−4)(x2)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x−4)(x2)=0
Calculate
(x−4)x2=0
Multiply the terms
x2(x−4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=0x−4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps
Evaluate
x−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=4
x=0x=4
Solution
x1=0,x2=4
