Question
Factor the expression
6(2x5−1)
Evaluate
12x5−6
Solution
6(2x5−1)
Show Solution

Find the roots
x=2516
Alternative Form
x≈0.870551
Evaluate
12x5−6
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
12x5−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
12x5=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
12x5=6
Divide both sides
1212x5=126
Divide the numbers
x5=126
Cancel out the common factor 6
x5=21
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5x5=521
Calculate
x=521
