Question
Simplify the expression
8z2−400
Evaluate
z2×8−400
Solution
8z2−400
Show Solution

Factor the expression
8(z2−50)
Evaluate
z2×8−400
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
8z2−400
Solution
8(z2−50)
Show Solution

Find the roots
z1=−52,z2=52
Alternative Form
z1≈−7.071068,z2≈7.071068
Evaluate
z2×8−400
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
z2×8−400=0
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
8z2−400=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
8z2=0+400
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
8z2=400
Divide both sides
88z2=8400
Divide the numbers
z2=8400
