To solve the equation \(2x + 8x^2 = 0\), we can start by factoring out the common terms.
Factor out the common term: \[ 2x(1 + 4x) = 0 \]
Set each factor to zero:
From \(2x = 0\), we find: \[ x = 0 \]
From \(1 + 4x = 0\), we solve for \(x\): \[ 4x = -1 \implies x = -\frac{1}{4} \]
List the solutions: The solutions to the equation \(2x + 8x^2 = 0\) are: \[ x = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{1}{4} \]
