Find the roots
r1=−11142×1113,r2=11142×1113
Alternative Form
r1≈−0.366376,r2≈0.366376
Evaluate
r4×222−4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r4×222−4=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
222r4−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
222r4=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
222r4=4
Divide both sides
222222r4=2224
Divide the numbers
r4=2224
Cancel out the common factor 2
r4=1112
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
r=±41112
