this question makes no sense. do you mean what are the zeros/roots of this polynomial?

Factoring trinomials are fun!

5x2 - 8x - 4

(5x + 2)(x - 2)

Never forget to check:

5x2 - 10x + 2x - 4

5x2 - 8x - 4

Good everything is in order, now set each parentheses equal to zero to solve for x

5x + 2 = 0

5x = -2

x = - 2/5

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

All done! Now we know the solution set is {-2/5, 2}. Remember smallest number always goes first.

What is the answer to 24x3-5x2-48x-8 divided by 8x plus 4?

If you notice, 8x + 4 = 4(2x + 1), but there is an odd coefficient for x2, so there is guaranteed to be some remainder (that is 8x + 4 is not a factor of the polynomial): (24x3 - 5x2 - 48x - 8) ÷ (8x + 4) = 3x2 - 2x - 5 - (x2 - 12)/(8x + 4)

What are the solutions of 5x2 plus 8x equals 7?

5x2 + 8x = 7 5x2 + 8x - 7 = 0 This cannot be factorised so the solutions need to be determined using the quadratic formula The solutions are {-8 ± sqrt[82 - 4*5*(-7)]}/(2*5) = {-8 ± sqrt[64 + 140]}/10 = {-8 ± sqrt[204]}/10 = -2.22829 and 0.62829 (to 5 dp)

How do you factor x3 plus 5x2 minus 16x minus 80?

To factorise x3 + 5x2 - 16x - 80 I note that -80 = 5 x -16 and 5 & -16 are the coefficients of x2 and x. Thus I have: x3 + 5x2 - 16x - 80 = (x + 5)(x2 - 16) and the second term is a difference of 2 squares, meaning I have: x3 + 5x2 - 16x - 80 = (x + 5)(x + 4)(x - 4)
