Solve 7a^5-1-2 - ScanMath

Question

Simplify the expression

7 a^{5} - 3

Evaluate

7 a^{5} - 1 - 2

Solution

7 a^{5} - 3

Show Solution

a = \frac{5 7203}{7}

Alternative Form

a \approx 0.844121

Evaluate

7 a^{5} - 1 - 2

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

7 a^{5} - 1 - 2 = 0

Subtract the numbers

7 a^{5} - 3 = 0

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

7 a^{5} = 0 + 3

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

7 a^{5} = 3

Divide both sides

\frac{7 a ^{5}}{7} = \frac{3}{7}

Divide the numbers

a^{5} = \frac{3}{7}

Take the 5 -th root on both sides of the equation

5 a^{5} = 5 \frac{3}{7}

Calculate

a = 5 \frac{3}{7}
