Solve 26-4x^52 - ScanMath

Question

Simplify the expression

26 - 8 x^{5}

Evaluate

26 - 4 x^{5} \times 2

Solution

26 - 8 x^{5}

Show Solution

2 (13 - 4 x^{5})

Evaluate

26 - 4 x^{5} \times 2

Multiply the terms

26 - 8 x^{5}

Solution

2 (13 - 4 x^{5})

Show Solution

x = \frac{5 104}{2}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.265834

Evaluate

26 - 4 x^{5} \times 2

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

26 - 4 x^{5} \times 2 = 0

Multiply the terms

26 - 8 x^{5} = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 8 x^{5} = 0 - 26

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 8 x^{5} = - 26

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

8 x^{5} = 26

Divide both sides

\frac{8 x ^{5}}{8} = \frac{26}{8}

Divide the numbers

x^{5} = \frac{26}{8}

Cancel out the common factor 2

x^{5} = \frac{13}{4}

Take the 5 -th root on both sides of the equation

5 x^{5} = 5 \frac{13}{4}

Calculate

x = 5 \frac{13}{4}
