Find the roots
x=4
Evaluate
25x−100
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
25x−100=0
Find the domain
More Steps

Evaluate
25x−100≥0
Move the constant to the right side
25x≥0+100
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
25x≥100
Divide both sides
2525x≥25100

5x−4=0
Rewrite the expression
x−4=0
The only way a root could be 0 is when the radicand equals 0
x−4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+4
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=4
Check if the solution is in the defined range
