Question

Simplify the expression

4 x^{3} - 5

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 4 x - 5

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 4 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{2 + 1} \times 4

Add the numbers

x^{3} \times 4

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

4 x^{3}

4 x^{3} - 5

Show Solution

Find the roots

x = \frac{3 10}{2}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.077217

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 4 x - 5

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

x^{2} \times 4 x - 5 = 0

More Steps

Multiply the terms

x^{2} \times 4 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{2 + 1} \times 4

Add the numbers

x^{3} \times 4

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

4 x^{3}

4 x^{3} - 5 = 0

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

4 x^{3} = 0 + 5

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

4 x^{3} = 5

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x ^{3}}{4} = \frac{5}{4}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{5}{4}

Take the 3 -th root on both sides of the equation

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{5}{4}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{5}{4}

The product of roots with the same index is equal to the root of the product

3 4 \times 4^{2}

Calculate the product

3 4^{3}

Transform the expression

3 2^{6}

Reduce the index of the radical and exponent with 3

2^{2}

\frac{2 3 10}{2 ^{2}}

Reduce the fraction

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{2}{2 ^{2}}

Use the product rule \frac{a ^{n}}{a ^{m}} = a^{n - m} to simplify the expression

\frac{1}{2 ^{2 - 1}}

Subtract the terms

\frac{1}{2 ^{1}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{2}

\frac{3 10}{2}

x = \frac{3 10}{2}
