In order to solve it, we need find the zero of the polynomial.

we find the zero of the polynomial by splitting the middle term method

2x2 -+ 4x - 16

= 2x2 + 8x - 4x -16

= 2x( x + 4)- 4(x + 4)
= (2x-)(x+4)

we find the zeroes of the factors

experimentally we find two values, 2 and -4.

Thus, values of x are 2 and -4
