Evaluate
a3×a
Use the product rule an×am=an+m to simplify the expression
a3+1
Add the numbers
a4
a4−200=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
a4=0+200
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
a4=200
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
a=±4200
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
a=4200a=−4200
Solution
a1=−4200,a2=4200
Alternative Form
a1≈−3.760603,a2≈3.760603
