Find the roots
h1=−21742173,h2=21742173
Alternative Form
h1≈−0.260546,h2≈0.260546
Evaluate
h4×868−4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
h4×868−4=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
868h4−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
868h4=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
868h4=4
Divide both sides
868868h4=8684
Divide the numbers
h4=8684
Cancel out the common factor 4
h4=2171
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
h=±42171
