Simplify the expression
−8+c2
Evaluate
−(8−c2)
Solution
−8+c2
Show Solution
Find the roots
c1=−22,c2=22
Alternative Form
c1≈−2.828427,c2≈2.828427
Evaluate
−(8−c2)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
−(8−c2)=0
Calculate
−8+c2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
c2=0+8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
c2=8
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
c=±8
Simplify the expression
