Solve -2y^6=-y - ScanMath

Evaluate

- 2 y^{6} = - y

Add or subtract both sides

- 2 y^{6} - (- y) = 0

If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses

- 2 y^{6} + y = 0

Factor the expression

y (- 2 y^{5} + 1) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

y = 0 - 2 y^{5} + 1 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

y = 0 y = \frac{5 16}{2}

Solution

y_{1} = 0, y_{2} = \frac{5 16}{2}

Alternative Form

y_{1} = 0, y_{2} \approx 0.870551
