Question

Simplify the expression

2 x^{5} - 5

Evaluate

2 x^{4} \times x - 5

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

2 x^{4} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

2 x^{4 + 1}

Add the numbers

2 x^{5}

2 x^{5} - 5

Show Solution

x = \frac{5 80}{2}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.201124

Evaluate

2 x^{4} \times x - 5

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

2 x^{4} \times x - 5 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Multiply the terms

2 x^{4} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

2 x^{4 + 1}

Add the numbers

2 x^{5}

2 x^{5} - 5 = 0

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

2 x^{5} = 0 + 5

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

2 x^{5} = 5

Divide both sides

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

Divide the numbers

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

Take the 5 -th root on both sides of the equation

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

Calculate

x = 5 \frac{5}{2}

Solution

More Steps
