Question
Factor the expression
2x(2−31x2)
Evaluate
4x−62x3
Rewrite the expression
2x×2−2x×31x2
Solution
2x(2−31x2)
Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=−3162,x2=0,x3=3162
Alternative Form
x1≈−0.254,x2=0,x3≈0.254
Evaluate
4x−62x3
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
4x−62x3=0
Factor the expression
2x(2−31x2)=0
Divide both sides
x(2−31x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=02−31x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2−31x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−31x2=0−2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−31x2=−2
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
31x2=2
Divide both sides
3131x2=312
Divide the numbers
x2=312
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±312
