Solve p^2-4p^4=0 - ScanMath

Evaluate

p^{2} - 4 p^{4} = 0

Factor the expression

p^{2} (1 - 4 p^{2}) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

p^{2} = 0 1 - 4 p^{2} = 0

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

p = 0 1 - 4 p^{2} = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

p = 0 p = \frac{1}{2} p = - \frac{1}{2}

Solution

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

Alternative Form

p_{1} = - 0.5, p_{2} = 0, p_{3} = 0.5
