8s−5s3=0
Factor the expression
s(8−5s2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
s=08−5s2=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
8−5s2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−5s2=0−8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−5s2=−8
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
5s2=8
Divide both sides
55s2=58
Divide the numbers
s2=58
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
s=±58
