56−3a4×1
Solution
56−3a4
Show Solution

Find the roots
a1=−341512,a2=341512
Alternative Form
a1≈−2.07858,a2≈2.07858
Evaluate
56−3a4×1
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
56−3a4×1=0
Multiply the terms
56−3a4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−3a4=0−56
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−3a4=−56
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
3a4=56
Divide both sides
33a4=356
Divide the numbers
a4=356
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
a=±4356
