−y(7+2y3)
Evaluate
−7y−2y4
Rewrite the expression
−y×7−y×2y3
Solution
−y(7+2y3)
Show Solution

Find the roots
y1=−2328,y2=0
Alternative Form
y1≈−1.518294,y2=0
Evaluate
−7y−(2y4)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
−7y−(2y4)=0
Multiply the terms
−7y−2y4=0
Factor the expression
−y(7+2y3)=0
Divide both sides
y(7+2y3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
y=07+2y3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
7+2y3=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2y3=0−7
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2y3=−7
Divide both sides
22y3=2−7
Divide the numbers
y3=2−7
Use b−a=−ba=−ba to rewrite the fraction
y3=−27
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3y3=3−27
Calculate
y=3−27
