Find the roots
s1=−3,s2=0,s3=3
Alternative Form
s1≈−1.732051,s2=0,s3≈1.732051
Evaluate
3s2(3s2−9)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
3s2(3s2−9)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
s2(3s2−9)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
s2=03s2−9=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
s=03s2−9=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3s2−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3s2=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3s2=9
Divide both sides
33s2=39
