Solve 4k^2-12k^5 - ScanMath

Evaluate

4 k^{2} - 12 k^{5}

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

4 k^{2} - 12 k^{5} = 0

Factor the expression

4 k^{2} (1 - 3 k^{3}) = 0

Divide both sides

k^{2} (1 - 3 k^{3}) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

k^{2} = 0 1 - 3 k^{3} = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

k = 0 1 - 3 k^{3} = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

k = 0 k = \frac{3 9}{3}

Solution

k_{1} = 0, k_{2} = \frac{3 9}{3}

Alternative Form

k_{1} = 0, k_{2} \approx 0.693361
