228r4−25
Evaluate
r4×228−25
Solution
228r4−25
Show Solution

Find the roots
r1=−228425×2283,r2=228425×2283
Alternative Form
r1≈−0.575442,r2≈0.575442
Evaluate
r4×228−25
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r4×228−25=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
228r4−25=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
228r4=0+25
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
228r4=25
Divide both sides
228228r4=22825
Divide the numbers
r4=22825
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
r=±422825
