Answer:

x

=

0

,

x

=

1

,

x

=

2

,

x

=

1

, and

x

=

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Start off by factoring out an

x

as follows

x

(

x

4

5

x

2

+

4

)

=

0

We can factor

x

4

5

x

2

+

4

Doing so we have

x

(

x

2

4

)

(

x

2

1

)

=

0

So in order for this to be equal to zero

x

=

0

OR

x

2

4

=

0

OR

x

2

1

=

0

Well

x

=

0

x

2

=

4

x

=

±

4

=

±

2

x

2

=

1

x

=

±

1

=

±

1
