y1=−1145324,y2=0,y3=1145324
Alternative Form
y1≈−0.776545,y2=0,y3≈0.776545
Evaluate
4y2−11y6
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
4y2−11y6=0
Factor the expression
y2(4−11y4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
y2=04−11y4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
y=04−11y4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
4−11y4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−11y4=0−4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−11y4=−4
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
11y4=4
Divide both sides
1111y4=114
Divide the numbers
y4=114
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
y=±4114
