Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=0,x2=6
Evaluate
(x−6)(x6)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
(x−6)(x6)=0
Calculate
(x−6)x6=0
Multiply the terms
x6(x−6)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x6=0x−6=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−6=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=6
x=0x=6
Solution
x1=0,x2=6
