Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
100x2−1
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
(10x)2−12
Use a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b) to factor the expression
(10x−1)(10x+1)
10x(10x−1)(10x+1)
Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=−101,x2=0,x3=101
Alternative Form
x1=−0.1,x2=0,x3=0.1
Evaluate
1000x3−10x
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
1000x3−10x=0
Factor the expression
10x(100x2−1)=0
Divide both sides
x(100x2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0100x2−1=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
100x2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
100x2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
100x2=1
Divide both sides
100100x2=1001
Divide the numbers
x2=1001
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±1001
