Question
Solve the equation
Solve for o
o=5p4+25p8−po=5p4−25p8−p
Evaluate
p+o2=p4o×10
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
p+o2=10p4o
Move the expression to the left side
p+o2−10p4o=0
Rewrite in standard form
o2−10p4o+p=0
Substitute a=1,b=−10p4 and c=p into the quadratic formula o=2a−b±b2−4ac
o=210p4±(−10p4)2−4p
Simplify the expression
o=210p4±100p8−4p
