Explanation:

We could easily solve this by factoring.

Given eqn:

$\rm{4x ^(2) + 10x + 4 = 0}$

Solution:

Factor left side:

= > 2(2x + 1)(x + 2) = 0

Write the factors to 0 to get our solution:

= > 2x + 1 = 0

$= > \boxed{ x = - \cfrac{1}{2} }$

or else,

= > x + 2 = 0

$= > \boxed{ x = - 2}$

$\rule{225pt}{2pt}$
