Show Solution

Find the roots
M1=−55,M2=0,M3=55
Alternative Form
M1≈−0.447214,M2=0,M3≈0.447214
Evaluate
M3×5−M
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
M3×5−M=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
5M3−M=0
Factor the expression
M(5M2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
M=05M2−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
5M2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5M2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5M2=1
Divide both sides
55M2=51
Divide the numbers
M2=51
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
M=±51
