Evaluate
d2−1
Rewrite the expression in exponential form
d2−12
Use a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b) to factor the expression

36(d−1)(d+1)(d2+1)
Show Solution

Find the roots
d1=−1,d2=1
Evaluate
d4×36−36
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
d4×36−36=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
36d4−36=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
36d4=0+36
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
36d4=36
Divide both sides
3636d4=3636
Divide the numbers
d4=3636
