Find the roots
h1=−244872,h2=244872
Alternative Form
h1≈−4.177311,h2≈4.177311
Evaluate
h4×4−2−1216
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
h4×4−2−1216=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
4h4−2−1216=0
Subtract the numbers
4h4−1218=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
4h4=0+1218
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
4h4=1218
Divide both sides
44h4=41218
Divide the numbers
h4=41218
Cancel out the common factor 2
h4=2609
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
h=±42609
