Factor the expression
4x4(1−384x)=0
Divide both sides
x4(1−384x)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x4=01−384x=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−384x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−384x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−384x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−384x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
384x=1
Divide both sides
384384x=3841
Divide the numbers
x=3841
x=0x=3841
