Show Solution

Find the roots
z1=−6,z2=0,z3=6
Alternative Form
z1≈−2.44949,z2=0,z3≈2.44949
Evaluate
−3z2(z2−6)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
−3z2(z2−6)=0
Change the sign
3z2(z2−6)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
z2(z2−6)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
z2=0z2−6=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
z=0z2−6=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
z2−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
z2=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
z2=6
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
z=±6
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
z=6z=−6
z=0z=6z=−6
Solution
z1=−6,z2=0,z3=6
Alternative Form
z1≈−2.44949,z2=0,z3≈2.44949
