8x^3 - 32X = 0.
1) look for common factors. This is the easiest to start with.
8x(x^2 - 4) = 0.
2) Look for special products. X^2 -4 is a difference of two squares, ie, x^2 - 2^2, so we continue factoring as:
8x(x+2)(x-2) = 0.
Now we see
8x = 0 | x+2 = 0 | x-2 = 0, where the bar means OR.
x = 0 | x=-2 | x=2.
done.

factor out 8x
8x (x^2 - 4) = 0
factor the rest by using the difference of perfect square formula:
a^2 - b^2 = (a - b) (a + b)
8x (x - 2) (x + 2) = 0
x = 0, 2 or -2

8x^3-32x=0
8x(x^2-4)=0
8x=0 , x^2-4)=0
x=0/8, (x+2)(x-2)=0
x=0, x+2=0, x-2=0
x=0, x= -2, x=2
Remember 0/8=0 and 8/0=undefined

8x^3-32x=0
Take out common factor:
8x(x^2-4)=0
Factor further:
8x(x+2)(x-2)=0
Set each part equal to 0 and solve.
8x=0
x=0
x+2=0
x=-2
x-2=0
x=2
So x=0, 2, or -2

8x^3 - 32x = 0
x(8x^2 - 32) = 0
8x(x^2 - 4) = 0
8x(x+2)(x-2) = 0
x = 0 or
x = 2 or
x = -2
