Show Solution

Find the roots
d1=−33,d2=0,d3=33
Alternative Form
d1≈−0.57735,d2=0,d3≈0.57735
Evaluate
d4×3−d2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
d4×3−d2=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
3d4−d2=0
Factor the expression
d2(3d2−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
d2=03d2−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
d=03d2−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
3d2−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3d2=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3d2=1
Divide both sides
33d2=31
Divide the numbers
d2=31
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
d=±31
