Solve 2(x^55)(x-17)=0

Evaluate

2 (x^{5} \times 5) (x - 17) = 0

Remove the parentheses

2 x^{5} \times 5 (x - 17) = 0

Multiply the terms

10 x^{5} (x - 17) = 0

Elimination the left coefficient

x^{5} (x - 17) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x^{5} = 0 x - 17 = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

x = 0 x - 17 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

x = 0 x = 17
