document.write( "Question 338745: I don't get this one at all. Solve using the zero product property. 2x^4-16x=0
\n" );
document.write( "When I tried to solve it, I could get the zero and two answers but they also showed an answer with a number +- square root and I must be doing something wrong because I am not coming up with it. Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. \n" );
