Homework Statement
I am asked to solve the following equation, giving answer in terms of k
Homework Equations
$$x^5 + k^2x = 0$$
The Attempt at a Solution
The answer is apparently 0. What is 0. Not even sure what that means.
I would have thought: divide through by x to obtain
$$k^2 = -x^4$$ →
$$ k=x^2i $$ ?
