Solution

x^{2} - 68 x^{6}

Show Solution

x^{2} (1 - 68 x^{4})

Evaluate

x^{2} - 17 x^{6} \times 4

Multiply the terms

x^{2} - 68 x^{6}

Rewrite the expression

x^{2} - x^{2} \times 68 x^{4}

Solution

x^{2} (1 - 68 x^{4})

Show Solution

x_{1} = - \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} = \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 0.348235, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} \approx 0.348235

Evaluate

x^{2} - 17 x^{6} \times 4

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

x^{2} - 17 x^{6} \times 4 = 0

Multiply the terms

x^{2} - 68 x^{6} = 0

Factor the expression

x^{2} (1 - 68 x^{4}) = 0

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x^{2} = 0 1 - 68 x^{4} = 0

The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0

x = 0 1 - 68 x^{4} = 0

Solve the equation

More Steps

Evaluate

1 - 68 x^{4} = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 68 x^{4} = 0 - 1

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 68 x^{4} = - 1

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

68 x^{4} = 1

Divide both sides

\frac{68 x ^{4}}{68} = \frac{1}{68}

Divide the numbers

x^{4} = \frac{1}{68}

Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots

x = \pm 4 \frac{1}{68}

Multiply by the Conjugate

\frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{4 68 \times 4 6 8 ^{3}}

Multiply the numbers

\frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}

x = \pm \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68} x = - \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}

x = 0 x = \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68} x = - \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}

Solution

x_{1} = - \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} = \frac{4 6 8 ^{3}}{68}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 0.348235, x_{2} = 0, x_{3} \approx 0.348235
