Find the Roots (Zeros) x^2(x-3)

$x^{2} (x - 3)$

Step 1

Set $x^{2} (x - 3)$ equal to $0$ .

$x^{2} (x - 3) = 0$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

If any individual factor on the left side of the equation is equal to $0$ , the entire expression will be equal to $0$ .

$x^{2} = 0$

$x - 3 = 0$

Set $x^{2}$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x^{2}$ equal to $0$ .

$x^{2} = 0$

Solve $x^{2} = 0$ for $x$ .

Take the square root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x = \pm \sqrt{0}$

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{0}$ .

Rewrite $0$ as $0^{2}$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt{0^{2}}$

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$x = \pm 0$

Plus or minus $0$ is $0$ .

$x = 0$

Set $x - 3$ equal to $0$ and solve for $x$ .

Set $x - 3$ equal to $0$ .

$x - 3 = 0$

Add $3$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = 3$

The final solution is all the values that make $x^{2} (x - 3) = 0$ true.

$x = 0, 3$
