Solution
322l2−4
Show Solution

Factor the expression
2(161l2−2)
Evaluate
l2×322−4
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
322l2−4
Solution
2(161l2−2)
Show Solution

Find the roots
l1=−161322,l2=161322
Alternative Form
l1≈−0.111456,l2≈0.111456
Evaluate
l2×322−4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
l2×322−4=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
322l2−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
322l2=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
322l2=4
Divide both sides
322322l2=3224
Divide the numbers
l2=3224
Cancel out the common factor 2
l2=1612
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
l=±1612
