Solve -(2x - 5)(x^2)

Evaluate

- (2 x - 5) (x^{2})

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

- (2 x - 5) (x^{2}) = 0

Calculate

- (2 x - 5) x^{2} = 0

Multiply the terms

- x^{2} (2 x - 5) = 0

Change the sign

x^{2} (2 x - 5) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x^{2} = 0 2 x - 5 = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

x = 0 2 x - 5 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

x = 0 x = \frac{5}{2}

Solution

x_{1} = 0, x_{2} = \frac{5}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} = 0, x_{2} = 2.5
