228r4−16
Solution
4(57r4−4)
Show Solution

Find the roots
r1=−5744×573,r2=5744×573
Alternative Form
r1≈−0.514691,r2≈0.514691
Evaluate
r4×228−16
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r4×228−16=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
228r4−16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
228r4=0+16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
228r4=16
Divide both sides
228228r4=22816
Divide the numbers
r4=22816
Cancel out the common factor 4
r4=574
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
r=±4574
