Solve k^26-1 - ScanMath

Evaluate

k^{2} \times 6 - 1

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

k^{2} \times 6 - 1 = 0

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

6 k^{2} - 1 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

6 k^{2} = 0 + 1

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

6 k^{2} = 1

Divide both sides

\frac{6 k ^{2}}{6} = \frac{1}{6}

Divide the numbers

k^{2} = \frac{1}{6}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

k = \pm \frac{1}{6}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

k = \pm \frac{6}{6}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

k = \frac{6}{6} k = - \frac{6}{6}

Solution

k_{1} = - \frac{6}{6}, k_{2} = \frac{6}{6}

Alternative Form

k_{1} \approx - 0.408248, k_{2} \approx 0.408248
