Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
124v4−16
Solution
4(31v4−4)
Show Solution

Find the roots
v1=−314119164,v2=314119164
Alternative Form
v1≈−0.599342,v2≈0.599342
Evaluate
v4×124−16
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
v4×124−16=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
124v4−16=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
124v4=0+16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
124v4=16
Divide both sides
124124v4=12416
Divide the numbers
v4=12416
Cancel out the common factor 4
v4=314
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
v=±4314
