Solution
2(7l4−2)
Show Solution

Find the roots
l1=−74686,l2=74686
Alternative Form
l1≈−0.73111,l2≈0.73111
Evaluate
l4×14−4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
l4×14−4=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
14l4−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
14l4=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
14l4=4
Divide both sides
1414l4=144
Divide the numbers
l4=144
Cancel out the common factor 2
l4=72
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
l=±472
