Solve 40s^5-4 - ScanMath

Evaluate

40 s^{5} - 4

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

40 s^{5} - 4 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

40 s^{5} = 0 + 4

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

40 s^{5} = 4

Divide both sides

\frac{40 s ^{5}}{40} = \frac{4}{40}

Divide the numbers

s^{5} = \frac{4}{40}

Cancel out the common factor 4

s^{5} = \frac{1}{10}

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

5 s^{5} = 5 \frac{1}{10}

Calculate

s = 5 \frac{1}{10}

Solution
