Question
Simplify the expression
x6−4x7+6x8−4x9+x10
Evaluate
x4×1(1−x)4x2
Divide the terms
x4(1−x)4x2
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
x4+2(1−x)4
Add the numbers
x6(1−x)4
Expand the expression
x6(1−4x+6x2−4x3+x4)
Apply the distributive property
x6×1−x6×4x+x6×6x2−x6×4x3+x6×x4
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
x6−x6×4x+x6×6x2−x6×4x3+x6×x4

Multiply the terms
x4(1−x)4x2
Multiply the terms with the same base by adding their exponents
x4+2(1−x)4
Add the numbers
x6(1−x)4
x6(1−x)4=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x6=0(1−x)4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0(1−x)4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
(1−x)4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
1−x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−x=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−x=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
x=1
x=0x=1
Solution
x1=0,x2=1
