What you wrote is 2x^-96 = 0, which means which renders as -- the graph of which is asymptotic to the -axis, and hence has no zeros.

But I don't think that is what you meant.

I suspect you meant , which is VASTLY different than what you wrote. I suspect you are laboring under the misapprehension that the caret mark means to square the variable that precedes it. It does not mean that -- it means to raise the variable that precedes it to the power that follows it. I.e. x^2 means x squared, x^3 means x cubed, x^6 means x to the sixth power...and x^-96 means to raise x to the -96th power.

Going on my presumption, proceed as follows:
