Solve 2a^4 - a^3 - ScanMath

Evaluate

2 a^{4} - a^{3}

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

2 a^{4} - a^{3} = 0

Factor the expression

a^{3} (2 a - 1) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

a^{3} = 0 2 a - 1 = 0

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

a = 0 2 a - 1 = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

a = 0 a = \frac{1}{2}

Solution

a_{1} = 0, a_{2} = \frac{1}{2}

Alternative Form

a_{1} = 0, a_{2} = 0.5
