Solve 4x^24x-15=0

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 60}{4}

Alternative Form

x \approx 0.978717

Evaluate

4 x^{2} \times 4 x - 15 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

4 x^{2} \times 4 x

Multiply the terms

16 x^{2} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

16 x^{2 + 1}

Add the numbers

16 x^{3}

16 x^{3} - 15 = 0

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

16 x^{3} = 0 + 15

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

16 x^{3} = 15

Divide both sides

\frac{16 x ^{3}}{16} = \frac{15}{16}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{15}{16}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{15}{16}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{15}{16}
