Question
Solve the equation
x1=−65,x2=0,x3=65
Alternative Form
x1≈−0.372678,x2=0,x3≈0.372678
Evaluate
100x2−144x4×5=0
Multiply the terms
100x2−720x4=0
Factor the expression
20x2(5−36x2)=0
Divide both sides
x2(5−36x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=05−36x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=05−36x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
5−36x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−36x2=0−5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−36x2=−5
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
36x2=5
Divide both sides
3636x2=365
Divide the numbers
x2=365
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±365
