Find the roots
σ1=−46578,σ2=46578
Alternative Form
σ1≈−324.419482,σ2≈324.419482
Evaluate
σ2×8−841984
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
σ2×8−841984=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
8σ2−841984=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
8σ2=0+841984
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
8σ2=841984
Divide both sides
88σ2=8841984
