Step 1
To find all the real solution of the equation: $$\displaystyle{x}^{{{5}}}+{8}{x}^{{{2}}}={0}$$
Solution:
Given equation is $$\displaystyle{x}^{{{5}}}+{8}{x}^{{{2}}}={0}$$.
Solving the given equation.
$$\displaystyle{x}^{{{5}}}+{8}{x}^{{{2}}}={0}$$
$$\displaystyle{x}^{{{2}}}{\left({x}^{{{3}}}+{8}\right)}={0}$$
$$\displaystyle{x}^{{{2}}}={0}\ {\quad\text{or}\quad}\ {x}^{{{3}}}+{8}={0}$$
$$\displaystyle{x}={0}\ {\quad\text{or}\quad}\ {x}^{{{3}}}=-{8}$$
x=0 or x=-2
Therefore, solution of the given equation are x={−2,0}.
Step 2
Hence, required solution is x={−2,0}.
