Multiply the terms
40v2−6
Solution
2(20v2−3)
Show Solution

Find the roots
v1=−1015,v2=1015
Alternative Form
v1≈−0.387298,v2≈0.387298
Evaluate
4v2×10−6
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
4v2×10−6=0
Multiply the terms
40v2−6=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
40v2=0+6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
40v2=6
Divide both sides
4040v2=406
Divide the numbers
v2=406
Cancel out the common factor 2
v2=203
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
v=±203
