Question
Solve the equation
x1=−23,x2=0,x3=23
Alternative Form
x1=−1.5,x2=0,x3=1.5
Evaluate
81x2−36x4=0
Factor the expression
9x2(9−4x2)=0
Divide both sides
x2(9−4x2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=09−4x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=09−4x2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
9−4x2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−4x2=0−9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−4x2=−9
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4x2=9
Divide both sides
44x2=49
Divide the numbers
x2=49
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±49
