Solve pi-phi-1-phi-pi 1

Evaluate

π - ϕ - 1 - ϕ - π \times 1

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

π - ϕ - 1 - ϕ - π \times 1 = 0

Multiply the numbers

π - ϕ - 1 - ϕ - π = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

π - 2 ϕ - 1 - π = 0

Since two opposites add up to 0,remove them form the expression

- 2 ϕ - 1 = 0

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

- 2 ϕ = 0 + 1

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

- 2 ϕ = 1

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

2 ϕ = - 1

Divide both sides

\frac{2 ϕ}{2} = \frac{- 1}{2}

Divide the numbers

ϕ = \frac{- 1}{2}

Solution

ϕ = - \frac{1}{2}

Alternative Form

ϕ = - 0.5
