Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=−26,x2=0,x3=26
Alternative Form
x1≈−1.224745,x2=0,x3≈1.224745
Evaluate
3x3−2x5
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
3x3−2x5=0
Factor the expression
x3(3−2x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=03−2x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=03−2x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3−2x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2x2=0−3
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−2x2=−3
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2x2=3
Divide both sides
22x2=23
Divide the numbers
x2=23
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±23
Simplify the expression
