Solve p^2 - 2p^5 - ScanMath

Evaluate

p^{2} - 2 p^{5}

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

p^{2} - 2 p^{5} = 0

Factor the expression

p^{2} (1 - 2 p^{3}) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

p^{2} = 0 1 - 2 p^{3} = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

p = 0 1 - 2 p^{3} = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

p = 0 p = \frac{3 4}{2}

Solution

p_{1} = 0, p_{2} = \frac{3 4}{2}

Alternative Form

p_{1} = 0, p_{2} \approx 0.793701
