Explanation Result used: Root Method : The real solutions of the equation x n = C are found by taking the n th root of both sides. x = C n if n is odd and x = ± C n if n is odd and C ≥ 0 . Calculation: Factorize the equation, 4 x 3 − 20 x 2 − 4 x + 20 = 0 as follows, ( 4 x 3 − 20 x 2 ) + ( − 4 x + 20 ) = 0 ( Separarte the terms into two groups ) 4 x 2 ( x − 5 ) − 4 ( x − 5 ) = 0
