216r4−1
Evaluate
r4×216−1
Solution
216r4−1
Show Solution

Find the roots
r1=−646,r2=646
Alternative Form
r1≈−0.260847,r2≈0.260847
Evaluate
r4×216−1
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r4×216−1=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
216r4−1=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
216r4=0+1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
216r4=1
Divide both sides
216216r4=2161
Divide the numbers
r4=2161
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
