Find the roots
x1=−46,x2=0,x3=46
Alternative Form
x1≈−9.797959,x2=0,x3≈9.797959
Evaluate
x3−12x×8
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x3−12x×8=0
Multiply the terms
x3−96x=0
Factor the expression
x(x2−96)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x=0x2−96=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
x2−96=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x2=0+96
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x2=96
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
x=±96
