x^3 - 4x = 0
x (x^2 - 4) = 0
either x = 0 or x^2 - 4 = 0
if x^2 -4 = 0
x^2 = 4
x = +2 or -2
remember -2 times -2 = +4 and +2 times +2 also = +4
x can be 0, +2, -2

x³ = 4x
Transpose 4x
x³ - 4x = 4x - 4x
x³ - 4x = 0
Common factor x
x(x² - 4) = 0
Inside the parenthesis factor the difference of two squares
x(x - 2)(x + 2) = 0
- - - - - - -
Roots
x = 0

Roots
x - 2 = 0
x - 2 + 2 = 0 + 2
x = 2

Roots
x + 2 = 0
x + 2 - 2 = 0 - 2
x = - 2

yeah i got the same as that one guy
x=0, 2, -2
just put everything on the one side of x
x^3 - 4x=0
factor out x
x(x^2 -4)=0
and factor again
x(x-2)(x+2)=0
then set each to zero and solve for x

x^3=4x, divide by x
(x^3)/x=4, simplify the left side
x^2=4, square root of both sides
x=sqrt 4 or x=+/-2

x^3 - 4x = 0
x(x^2-4) = 0
Use the difference of squares rule:
x(x+2)(x-2) = 0
x = 0 or -2 or 2

First we note the trivial solution x = 0.
Then we can simplify by dividing both sides by x:
x^2 = 4
From this it's clear that x = 2 or -2.
So the solutions are 0, 2, -2.

x^3 = 4x
(x^3)/x = 4
(x^3)/(x^1) = 4
x^(3-1) = 4
x^2 = 4
sqrt (x^2) = sqrt (4)
x = -2, 2

to discover the y-intercept, you're able to set x to 0 interior the equation: 3(0) - 4y = -12 or -4y = -12. you're able to then divide the two facets by way of -4 to get the variable y by way of itself: y = -12 / -4 because of the fact the numbers are the two damaging, the respond would be a good variety. (12/4) = 3. So the y-intercept is 3.
