Find the roots
x1=−21,x2=21
Alternative Form
x1=−0.5,x2=0.5
Evaluate
6−24x4×4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
6−24x4×4=0
Multiply the terms
6−96x4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−96x4=0−6
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−96x4=−6
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
96x4=6
Divide both sides
9696x4=966
Divide the numbers
x4=966
Cancel out the common factor 6
x4=161
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
