Question
Simplify the expression
10u4−9
Evaluate
u4×10−9
Solution
10u4−9
Show Solution

Find the roots
u1=−1049000,u2=1049000
Alternative Form
u1≈−0.974004,u2≈0.974004
Evaluate
u4×10−9
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
u4×10−9=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
10u4−9=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
10u4=0+9
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
10u4=9
Divide both sides
1010u4=109
Divide the numbers
u4=109
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
u=±4109
