Find the roots
x1=0,x2=2
Evaluate
x(x−2)(x×1)
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
x(x−2)(x×1)=0
Any expression multiplied by 1 remains the same
x(x−2)x=0
Multiply the terms
x2(x−2)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
x2=0x−2=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
x=0x−2=0
Solve the equation

Evaluate
x−2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
x=0+2
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
x=2
x=0x=2
Solution
x1=0,x2=2
