Question
Simplify the expression
h2−128
Evaluate
h2×1−128−0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
h2−128−0
Solution
h2−128
Show Solution

Find the roots
h1=−82,h2=82
Alternative Form
h1≈−11.313708,h2≈11.313708
Evaluate
h2×1−128−0
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
h2×1−128−0=0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
h2−128−0=0
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
h2−128=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
h2=0+128
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
h2=128
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
h=±128
