Evaluate
9J2×2−1
Solution
18J2−1
Show Solution

Find the roots
J1=−62,J2=62
Alternative Form
J1≈−0.235702,J2≈0.235702
Evaluate
9J2×2−1
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
9J2×2−1=0
Multiply the terms
18J2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
18J2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
18J2=1
Divide both sides
1818J2=181
Divide the numbers
J2=181
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
J=±181
