How would u factor ?

Question

4xlittle 4- 10xlittle 2- 4x=0

plz help thanks

Answer 1

4x^4 - 10x^2 - 4x = 0

2(2x^4 - 5x^2 - 2x) = 0

2x(2x^3 - 5x - 2) = 0

2x = 0

x = 0/2

x = 0

2x^3 - 5x - 2 = 0

(the result of this equation should be an imaginary number.)

∴ x = 0

Answer 2

They all have an x and a multiple of 2, so you can factor out an x and a 2. So it would be (2x)(2xlittle 3- 5x- 2). That's all there is to it.
