9x5−x3=0
Factor the expression
x3(9x2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=09x2−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=09x2−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
9x2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
9x2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
9x2=1
Divide both sides
99x2=91
Divide the numbers
x2=91
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±91
