Find the roots
x1=−566,x2=0,x3=566
Alternative Form
x1≈−40.620192,x2=0,x3≈40.620192
Evaluate
2x4−33x2×100
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
2x4−33x2×100=0
Multiply the terms
2x4−3300x2=0
Factor the expression
2x2(x2−1650)=0
Divide both sides
x2(x2−1650)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=0x2−1650=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x2−1650=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x2−1650=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x2=0+1650
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x2=1650
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±1650
