Question
Simplify the expression
161h4−1
Evaluate
h4×161−1
Solution
161h4−1
Show Solution

Find the roots
h1=−16141613,h2=16141613
Alternative Form
h1≈−0.280733,h2≈0.280733
Evaluate
h4×161−1
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
h4×161−1=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
161h4−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
161h4=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
161h4=1
Divide both sides
161161h4=1611
Divide the numbers
h4=1611
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
h=±41611
