Type your math problem... p^4 o^2 = p^4o^6

Question

Solve the equation

Solve for o

Solve for p

o = 0 o = 1 o = - 1

Evaluate

p^{4} o^{2} = p^{4} o^{6}

Add or subtract both sides

p^{4} o^{2} - p^{4} o^{6} = 0

Factor the expression

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

Divide both sides

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

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

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

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

o = 0 1 - o^{4} = 0

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

1 - o^{4} = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- o^{4} = 0 - 1

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- o^{4} = - 1

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

o^{4} = 1

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

o = \pm 41

Simplify the expression

o = \pm 1

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

o = 1 o = - 1

o = 0 o = 1 o = - 1
