Find the roots
h1=−16142×1613,h2=16142×1613
Alternative Form
h1≈−0.33385,h2≈0.33385
Evaluate
h4×161−2−0
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
h4×161−2−0=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
161h4−2−0=0
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
161h4−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
161h4=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
161h4=2
Divide both sides
161161h4=1612
Divide the numbers
h4=1612
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
h=±41612
