Solve x^2 8x-46=0

Question

Solve the equation

x = \frac{3 46}{2}

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.791524

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 8 x - 46 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Evaluate

x^{2} \times 8 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{2 + 1} \times 8

Add the numbers

x^{3} \times 8

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

8 x^{3}

8 x^{3} - 46 = 0

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

8 x^{3} = 0 + 46

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

8 x^{3} = 46

Divide both sides

\frac{8 x ^{3}}{8} = \frac{46}{8}

Divide the numbers

x^{3} = \frac{46}{8}

Cancel out the common factor 2

x^{3} = \frac{23}{4}

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

3 x^{3} = 3 \frac{23}{4}

Calculate

x = 3 \frac{23}{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 46}{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 46}{2}

x = \frac{3 46}{2}
