Find the roots
m1=−9982495,m2=9982495
Alternative Form
m1≈−0.05005,m2≈0.05005
Evaluate
m2×15988−15
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
m2×15988−15=0
Divide the terms
m2×5988−15=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
5988m2−15=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5988m2=0+15
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5988m2=15
Divide both sides
59885988m2=598815
Divide the numbers
m2=598815
Cancel out the common factor 3
m2=19965
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
m=±19965
