Find the roots
s1=0,s2=1
Evaluate
4s5(8s2−8s3)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
4s5(8s2−8s3)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
s5(8s2−8s3)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
s5=08s2−8s3=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
s=08s2−8s3=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
8s2−8s3=0
Factor the expression
8s2(1−s)=0
Divide both sides
s2(1−s)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
s2=01−s=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
s=01−s=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−s=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−s=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−s=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
s=1
s=0s=1
s=0s=0s=1
Find the union
s=0s=1
Solution
s1=0,s2=1
