Question
Solve the equation
Solve for h
h=0h=∣c∣4c4+c2h=−∣c∣4c4+c2
Evaluate
c2h2+h2=c2h6
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(c2+1)h2=c2h6
Add or subtract both sides
(c2+1)h2−c2h6=0
Factor the expression
h2(c2+1−c2h4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
h2=0c2+1−c2h4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
h=0c2+1−c2h4=0
Solution
More Steps

Evaluate
c2+1−c2h4=0
Move the expression to the right-hand side and change its sign
−c2h4=0−(c2+1)
Subtract the terms
More Steps

Evaluate
0−(c2+1)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
0−c2−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−c2−1
−c2h4=−c2−1
Divide both sides
−c2−c2h4=−c2−c2−1
Divide the numbers
h4=−c2−c2−1
Divide the numbers
h4=c2c2+1
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
h=±4c2c2+1
