Solve 3y^5=-1 - ScanMath

Evaluate

3 y^{5} = - 1

Divide both sides

\frac{3 y ^{5}}{3} = \frac{- 1}{3}

Divide the numbers

y^{5} = \frac{- 1}{3}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

y^{5} = - \frac{1}{3}

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

5 y^{5} = 5 - \frac{1}{3}

Calculate

y = 5 - \frac{1}{3}
