Evaluate
1−o2×18
Solution
1−18o2
Show Solution

Find the roots
o1=−62,o2=62
Alternative Form
o1≈−0.235702,o2≈0.235702
Evaluate
1−o2×18
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
1−o2×18=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
1−18o2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−18o2=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−18o2=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
18o2=1
Divide both sides
1818o2=181
Divide the numbers
o2=181
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
o=±181
