Example 2
Solve the following polynomial:
Step 1 . Determine if there is a monomial that can be divided out of each term.
Since each term in the equation is divisible by 4x, divide this term out first.
Step 2. Factor the remaining expression, if possible.
Since it is not possible to factor the remaining quadratic, use the quadratic formula.
Step 3. Use the Zero Product Property to set the remaining expressions equal to zero.
The final answer is
