Question
Solve the equation
p=0
Evaluate
p×p6×2=−p

More Steps

Evaluate
p×p6×2
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
p1+6×2
Add the numbers
p7×2
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
2p7
2p7=−p
Add or subtract both sides
2p7−(−p)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
2p7+p=0
Factor the expression
p(2p6+1)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
p=02p6+1=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
2p6+1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2p6=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
2p6=−1
Since the left-hand side is always positive or 0,and the right-hand side is always negative,the statement is false for any value of p
p∈/R
p=0p∈/R
Solution
p=0
