Solve h^21 = h^25h

Evaluate

h^{2} \times 1 = h^{2} \times 5 h

Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same

h^{2} = h^{2} \times 5 h

Multiply

More Steps

h^{2} = 5 h^{3}

Move the expression to the left side

h^{2} - 5 h^{3} = 0

Factor the expression

h^{2} (1 - 5 h) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

h^{2} = 0 1 - 5 h = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

h = 0 1 - 5 h = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

h = 0 h = \frac{1}{5}

Solution

h_{1} = 0, h_{2} = \frac{1}{5}

Alternative Form

h_{1} = 0, h_{2} = 0.2
