Find the roots
n1=−1,n2=0,n3=1
Evaluate
n9−n3
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
n9−n3=0
Factor the expression
n3(n6−1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
n3=0n6−1=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
n=0n6−1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
n6−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
n6=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
n6=1
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
n=±61
Simplify the expression
n=±1
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
n=1n=−1
n=0n=1n=−1
Solution
n1=−1,n2=0,n3=1
