Simplify
14x3−x5=0
Factor the expression
x3(14−x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x3=014−x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=014−x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
14−x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x2=0−14
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x2=−14
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x2=14
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±14
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=14x=−14
x=0x=14x=−14
Solution
x1=−14,x2=0,x3=14
