2 x^{4} - 5

Show Solution

Find the roots of the algebra expression

x_{1} = - \frac{4 40}{2}, x_{2} = \frac{4 40}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 1.257433, x_{2} \approx 1.257433

Evaluate

2 x^{3} \times x - 5

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

2 x^{3} \times x - 5 = 0

Multiply the terms

2 x^{3} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

2 x^{3 + 1}

Add the numbers

2 x^{4}

2 x^{4} - 5 = 0

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

2 x^{4} = 0 + 5

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

2 x^{4} = 5

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x ^{4}}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

Divide the numbers

x^{4} = \frac{5}{2}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x = \pm 4 \frac{5}{2}

\frac{4 40}{2}

x = \pm \frac{4 40}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = \frac{4 40}{2} x = - \frac{4 40}{2}

Solution

x_{1} = - \frac{4 40}{2}, x_{2} = \frac{4 40}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 1.257433, x_{2} \approx 1.257433
