Find the roots
m1=−149721497,m2=149721497
Alternative Form
m1≈−0.051691,m2≈0.051691
Evaluate
m2×15988−16
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
m2×15988−16=0
Divide the terms
m2×5988−16=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
5988m2−16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5988m2=0+16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5988m2=16
Divide both sides
59885988m2=598816
Divide the numbers
m2=598816
Cancel out the common factor 4
m2=14974
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
m=±14974
