Find the roots
y1=0,y2=339
Alternative Form
y1=0,y2≈0.693361
Evaluate
3(2y4)−2y
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
3(2y4)−2y=0
Multiply the terms
3×2y4−2y=0
Multiply the numbers
6y4−2y=0
Factor the expression
2y(3y3−1)=0
Divide both sides
y(3y3−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
y=03y3−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3y3−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3y3=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3y3=1
Divide both sides
33y3=31
Divide the numbers
y3=31
Take the 3-th root on both sides of the equation
3y3=331
