Question
Simplify the expression
412r4−9
Evaluate
r4×412−9
Solution
412r4−9
Show Solution

Find the roots
r1=−41249×4123,r2=41249×4123
Alternative Form
r1≈−0.384447,r2≈0.384447
Evaluate
r4×412−9
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r4×412−9=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
412r4−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
412r4=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
412r4=9
Divide both sides
412412r4=4129
Divide the numbers
r4=4129
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
r=±44129
