Question
Solve the equation
x1=−12472,x2=0,x3=12472
Alternative Form
x1≈−0.242746,x2=0,x3≈0.242746
Evaluate
x2−36x6×8=0
Multiply the terms
x2−288x6=0
Factor the expression
x2(1−288x4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=01−288x4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=01−288x4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−288x4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−288x4=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−288x4=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
288x4=1
Divide both sides
288288x4=2881
Divide the numbers
x4=2881
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±42881
