Find the roots
x1=0,x2=51
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2=0.2
Evaluate
2x(x2−5x3)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
2x(x2−5x3)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x(x2−5x3)=0

Evaluate
x2−5x3=0
Factor the expression
x2(1−5x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=01−5x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−5x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−5x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−5x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−5x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
5x=1
Divide both sides
55x=51
Divide the numbers
x=51
x=0x=51
x=0x=0x=51
Find the union
x=0x=51
Solution
x1=0,x2=51
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2=0.2
