16h5-25h3+9h = 0

Factor out common factor h

h(16h4-25h2+9) = 0

Factor the trinomial in the parentheses

h(16h2-9)(h2-1) = 0

Each of those binomial in parentheses are
the difference of squares, so factor them:

h(4h-3)(4h+3)(h-1)(h+1) = 0

By the zero-factor property set all those factors = 0:

h=0;  4h-3=0;  4h+3=0 ;   h-1=0;  h+1=0
        4h=3     4h=-3      h=1     h=-1
         h=      h=

So the solutions are 0, , , 1, and -1

--> is one solution
The other solutions, if there are any, must come from

I know that I can factor , so

and that can be applied to transform the equation:



So, the other solutions are
, ,
, and .

NOTE: You could also say that from ,
we do the change of variable
to get the quadratic equation ,
with solutions and
and returning from to we get
-->
and
