Find the roots
x=0
Evaluate
−4x2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
−4x2=0
Find the domain
More Steps

Evaluate
−4x2≥0
Since the left-hand side is always negative or 0,and the right-hand side is always 0,the statement is true only when −4x2=0
−4x2=0
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4x2=0
Rewrite the expression
x2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0
−4x2=0,x=0
Calculate
