Solve x^2 4x-6=0 - ScanMath

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 12}{2}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.144714

Evaluate

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

Multiply

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} - 6 = 0

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

4 x^{3} = 0 + 6

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

4 x^{3} = 6

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x ^{3}}{4} = \frac{6}{4}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{6}{4}

Cancel out the common factor 2

x^{3} = \frac{3}{2}

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

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{3}{2}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{3}{2}

3 \frac{3}{2}

To take a root of a fraction,take the root of the numerator and denominator separately

\frac{3 3}{3 2}

Multiply by the Conjugate

\frac{3 3 \times 3 2 ^{2}}{3 2 \times 3 2 ^{2}}

Simplify

\frac{3 3 \times 3 4}{3 2 \times 3 2 ^{2}}
