Find the roots
x1=0,x2=51,x3=25
Alternative Form
x1=0,x2=0.2,x3=2.5
Evaluate
4x3(2x−5)×6(1−5x)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
4x3(2x−5)×6(1−5x)=0
Multiply the terms
24x3(2x−5)(1−5x)=0
Elimination the left coefficient
x3(2x−5)(1−5x)=0
Separate the equation into 3 possible cases
x3=02x−5=01−5x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=02x−5=01−5x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2x−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2x=5
Divide both sides
22x=25
Divide the numbers
x=25
x=0x=251−5x=0

Evaluate
1−5x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−5x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−5x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
5x=1
Divide both sides
55x=51
Divide the numbers
x=51
x=0x=25x=51
