(8−9y2)(8+9y2)
Show Solution

Find the roots
y1=−322,y2=322
Alternative Form
y1≈−0.942809,y2≈0.942809
Evaluate
64−81y4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
64−81y4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−81y4=0−64
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−81y4=−64
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
81y4=64
Divide both sides
8181y4=8164
Divide the numbers
y4=8164
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
y=±48164
