5s2−88−2
Solution
5s2−90
Show Solution

Factor the expression
5(s2−18)
Evaluate
s2×5−88−2
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
5s2−88−2
Subtract the numbers
5s2−90
Solution
5(s2−18)
Show Solution

Find the roots
s1=−32,s2=32
Alternative Form
s1≈−4.242641,s2≈4.242641
Evaluate
s2×5−88−2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
s2×5−88−2=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
5s2−88−2=0
Subtract the numbers
5s2−90=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
5s2=0+90
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
5s2=90
Divide both sides
55s2=590
Divide the numbers
s2=590
Divide the numbers
