Question
Simplify the expression
44l2−9
Evaluate
l2×44−9
Solution
44l2−9
Show Solution

Find the roots
l1=−22311,l2=22311
Alternative Form
l1≈−0.452267,l2≈0.452267
Evaluate
l2×44−9
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
l2×44−9=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
44l2−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
44l2=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
44l2=9
Divide both sides
4444l2=449
Divide the numbers
l2=449
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
l=±449
