2 answers:
Answer:
The answer is x < 16.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Remove parentheses.
2) Simplify x - 6 - 2 to x - 8.
3) Add 8 to both sides.
4) Simplify 8 + 8 to 16.
4) Switch sides.

There is a multiple zero at 0 (which means that it touches there), and there are single zeros at -2 and 2 (which means that they cross). There is also 2 imaginary zeros at i and -i.
You can find this by factoring. Start by pulling out the greatest common factor, which in this case is -x^2.
-x^6 + 3x^4 + 4x^2
-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)
Now we can factor the inside of the parenthesis. You do this by finding factors of the last number that add up to the middle number.
-x^2(x^4 - 3x^2 - 4)
-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)
Now we can use the factors of two perfect squares rule to factor the middle parenthesis.
-x^2(x^2 - 4)(x^2 + 1)
-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
We would also want to split the term in the front.
-x^2(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
(x)(-x)(x - 2)(x + 2)(x^2 + 1)
Now we would set each portion equal to 0 and solve.
First root
x = 0 ---> no work needed
Second root
-x = 0 ---> divide by -1
x = 0
Third root
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
Forth root
x + 2 = 0
x = -2
Fifth and Sixth roots
x^2 + 1 = 0
x^2 = -1
x = +/-
x = +/- i
