Question
Factor the expression
3n(3n2−5)
Evaluate
9n3−15n
Rewrite the expression
3n×3n2−3n×5
Solution
3n(3n2−5)
Show Solution

Find the roots
n1=−315,n2=0,n3=315
Alternative Form
n1≈−1.290994,n2=0,n3≈1.290994
Evaluate
9n3−15n
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
9n3−15n=0
Factor the expression
3n(3n2−5)=0
Divide both sides
n(3n2−5)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
n=03n2−5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3n2−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3n2=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3n2=5
Divide both sides
33n2=35
Divide the numbers
n2=35
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
n=±35
