Factor the expression
−5x2(48x4+1)=0
Divide both sides
x2(48x4+1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=048x4+1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=048x4+1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
48x4+1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
48x4=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
48x4=−1
Divide both sides
4848x4=48−1
Divide the numbers
x4=48−1
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
x4=−481
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
