Find the roots

Find the roots of the algebra expression

x = 54

Alternative Form

x \approx 1.319508

Evaluate

x^{4} \times 2 x - 8

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

x^{4} \times 2 x - 8 = 0

Multiply

More Steps

Multiply the terms

x^{4} \times 2 x

Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents

x^{4 + 1} \times 2

Add the numbers

x^{5} \times 2

Use the commutative property to reorder the terms

2 x^{5}

2 x^{5} - 8 = 0

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

2 x^{5} = 0 + 8

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

2 x^{5} = 8

Divide both sides

\frac{2 x ^{5}}{2} = \frac{8}{2}

Divide the numbers

x^{5} = \frac{8}{2}

Divide the numbers

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{8}{2}

Reduce the numbers

\frac{4}{1}

Calculate

4

x^{5} = 4

Take the 5 -th root on both sides of the equation

5 x^{5} = 54

Solution

x = 54
