Solve s^410-4 - ScanMath

Question

Simplify the expression

10 s^{4} - 4

Evaluate

s^{4} \times 10 - 4

Solution

10 s^{4} - 4

Show Solution

2 (5 s^{4} - 2)

Evaluate

s^{4} \times 10 - 4

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

10 s^{4} - 4

Solution

2 (5 s^{4} - 2)

Show Solution

s_{1} = - \frac{4 250}{5}, s_{2} = \frac{4 250}{5}

Alternative Form

s_{1} \approx - 0.795271, s_{2} \approx 0.795271

Evaluate

s^{4} \times 10 - 4

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

s^{4} \times 10 - 4 = 0

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

10 s^{4} - 4 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

10 s^{4} = 0 + 4

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

10 s^{4} = 4

Divide both sides

\frac{10 s ^{4}}{10} = \frac{4}{10}

Divide the numbers

s^{4} = \frac{4}{10}

Cancel out the common factor 2

s^{4} = \frac{2}{5}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

s = \pm 4 \frac{2}{5}

s = \pm \frac{4 250}{5}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

s = \frac{4 250}{5} s = - \frac{4 250}{5}

Solution

s_{1} = - \frac{4 250}{5}, s_{2} = \frac{4 250}{5}

Alternative Form

s_{1} \approx - 0.795271, s_{2} \approx 0.795271
