Solve the following polynomial equation  x^5-13x^3+36x=0

One of the following is the correct answer. Which one?

A) x=0, x=+or-2, x=+or-3

B) x=1, x=2, x=18

C) x=+or-2, x+or-3

D) x=+or-3, x=+or-5

E) x=0, x=+or-3, x=+or-12
&lt;pre&gt;Factor out GCF, x to get: {{{matrix(2,3, x(x^4 - 13x^2 + 36), &quot;=&quot;, x(0), x(x^4 - 9x^2 - 4x^2 + 36), &quot;=&quot;, 0)}}}
               &lt;font color = blue&gt;&lt;font size = 4&gt;&lt;b&gt;x[x&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;(x&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; - 9) - 4(x&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; - 9)] = 0&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; 
                         &lt;font color = blue&gt;&lt;font size = 4&gt;&lt;b&gt;x(x&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; - 4)(x&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; - 9) = 0&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
          &lt;font color = blue&gt;&lt;font size = 4&gt;&lt;b&gt;x(x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 3)(x + 3) = 0&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt; 
                                         {{{matrix(5,3, x, &quot;=&quot;, 0, x - 2, &quot;=&quot;, 0, x + 2, &quot;=&quot;, 0, x - 3, &quot;=&quot;, 0, x + 3, &quot;=&quot;, 0)}}}      {{{system(matrix(3,3, x, &quot;=&quot;, 0, x, &quot;=&quot;, &quot; &quot;+- 2, x, &quot;=&quot;, &quot; &quot;+- 3))}}}&lt;font color = blue&gt;&lt;font size = 4&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;===== CHOICE A)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;</PRE>
