Evaluate
z2−16z6×4
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
z2−16z6×4=0
Multiply the terms
z2−64z6=0
Factor the expression
z2(1−64z4)=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
z2=01−64z4=0
The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0
z=01−64z4=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Evaluate
1−64z4=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−64z4=0−1
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−64z4=−1
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
64z4=1
Divide both sides
6464z4=641
Divide the numbers
z4=641
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
z=±4641
