Question: Find the general expression for all locations ( x ' s ) where the bending moment is zero along a railway track that is subjected

Find the general expression for all locations (x's) where the bending moment is zero
along a railway track that is subjected to a single wheel load. Note: Lecture notes
(pages 35) have found only the first x value for the location of zero bending moment,
but theoretically there are more locations as one moves further away from the load.
Location of Zero Moment (x1)
M=P(EI64k)14e-|x|(cos|x|-sin|x|)
M=0 when (cos|x|-sin|x|)=0longrightarrowx1=4
Find the general expression for all locations ( x
