Solve p^2-p^4 - ScanMath

Evaluate

p^{2} - p^{4}

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

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

Factor the expression

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

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

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

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

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

Solve the equation

More Steps

p = 0 p = 1 p = - 1

Solution

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