Answer: (x+8)(x+4)(x-5)^2(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding a zero, you set the equation equal to 0 then solve.

For example, x+8=0
You would isolate x by subtracting both sides by 8 and get x=-8. This mean that the root or zero is -8. When there are two zeros that are the same, you just square the equation.
