Question
Solve the equation
y1=−248,y2=0,y3=248
Alternative Form
y1≈−0.840896,y2=0,y3≈0.840896
Evaluate
12y=6y5×4
Multiply the terms
12y=24y5
Add or subtract both sides
12y−24y5=0
Factor the expression
12y(1−2y4)=0
Divide both sides
y(1−2y4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
y=01−2y4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps
Evaluate
1−2y4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2y4=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2y4=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2y4=1
Divide both sides
22y4=21
Divide the numbers
y4=21
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
y=±421
