n3−5n2
Show Solution

Find the roots
n1=0,n2=5
Evaluate
n×n(n−5)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
n×n(n−5)=0
Multiply the terms
n2(n−5)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
n2=0n−5=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
n=0n−5=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
n−5=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
n=0+5
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
n=5
n=0n=5
Solution
n1=0,n2=5
