Question
Simplify the expression
221r4−8
Evaluate
r4×221−8
Solution
221r4−8
Show Solution

Find the roots
r1=−22144423,r2=22144423
Alternative Form
r1≈−0.436189,r2≈0.436189
Evaluate
r4×221−8
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r4×221−8=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
221r4−8=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
221r4=0+8
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
221r4=8
Divide both sides
221221r4=2218
Divide the numbers
r4=2218
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
r=±42218
