Find the roots
p=3517658
Alternative Form
p≈2.356498
Evaluate
p5×3−212−6
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
p5×3−212−6=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
3p5−212−6=0
Subtract the numbers
3p5−218=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
3p5=0+218
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
3p5=218
Divide both sides
33p5=3218
Divide the numbers
p5=3218
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5p5=53218
Calculate
p=53218
