Show Solution

Find the roots
m1=−1344394,m2=0,m3=1344394
Alternative Form
m1≈−0.626284,m2=0,m3≈0.626284
Evaluate
2m2−13m6
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
2m2−13m6=0
Factor the expression
m2(2−13m4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
m2=02−13m4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
m=02−13m4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2−13m4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−13m4=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−13m4=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
13m4=2
Divide both sides
1313m4=132
Divide the numbers
m4=132
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
m=±4132
