Find the roots

x_{1} = - \frac{4 8}{2}, x_{2} = \frac{4 8}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 0.840896, x_{2} \approx 0.840896

Evaluate

6 x^{3} \times 2 x - 6

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

6 x^{3} \times 2 x - 6 = 0

Multiply the terms

6 x^{3} \times 2 x

Multiply the terms

12 x^{3} \times x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

12 x^{3 + 1}

Add the numbers

12 x^{4}

12 x^{4} - 6 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

12 x^{4} = 0 + 6

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

12 x^{4} = 6

Divide both sides

\frac{12 x ^{4}}{12} = \frac{6}{12}

Divide the numbers

x^{4} = \frac{6}{12}

Cancel out the common factor 6

x^{4} = \frac{1}{2}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x = \pm 4 \frac{1}{2}

\frac{4 8}{2}

x = \pm \frac{4 8}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = \frac{4 8}{2} x = - \frac{4 8}{2}

Solution

x_{1} = - \frac{4 8}{2}, x_{2} = \frac{4 8}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 0.840896, x_{2} \approx 0.840896
