Find the roots
r=6546008
Alternative Form
r≈1.426972
Evaluate
r5×12−46−25
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
r5×12−46−25=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
12r5−46−25=0
Subtract the numbers
12r5−71=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
12r5=0+71
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
12r5=71
Divide both sides
1212r5=1271
Divide the numbers
r5=1271
Take the 5-th root on both sides of the equation
5r5=51271
Calculate
r=51271
