Evaluate
4c2−2c
Rewrite the expression
2c×2c−2c
Factor out 2c from the expression
2c(2c−1)
2c(2c−1)=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
2c=02c−1=0
Solve the equation for c

Solve the equation for c
More Steps

Evaluate
2c−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2c=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2c=1
Divide both sides
22c=21
Divide the numbers
c=21
c=0c=21
c=0c=0c=21
Find the union
c=0c=21
