Question
Simplify the expression
512r4−9
Evaluate
r4×512−9
Solution
512r4−9
Show Solution

Find the roots
r1=−8472,r2=8472
Alternative Form
r1≈−0.364119,r2≈0.364119
Evaluate
r4×512−9
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r4×512−9=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
512r4−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
512r4=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
512r4=9
Divide both sides
512512r4=5129
Divide the numbers
r4=5129
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
r=±45129
