The roots of polynomial $ p(x) $ are:
$$ \begin{aligned}x_1 &= 0\\[1 em]x_2 &= \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } \end{aligned} $$Step 1:
Factor out $ \color{blue}{ -8x }$ from $ -16x^2+40x $ and solve two separate equations:
$$ \begin{aligned} -16x^2+40x & = 0\\[1 em] \color{blue}{ -8x }\cdot ( 2x-5 ) & = 0 \\[1 em] \color{blue}{ -8x = 0} ~~ \text{or} ~~ 2x-5 & = 0 \end{aligned} $$One solution is $ \color{blue}{ x = 0 } $. Use second equation to find the remaining roots.
Step 2:
To find the second zero, solve equation $ 2x-5 = 0 $
$$ \begin{aligned} 2x-5 & = 0 \\[1 em] 2 \cdot x & = 5 \\[1 em] x & = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } \end{aligned} $$
