a) Ta có: \(x^2-16=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-4\right)\left(x+4\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x-4=0\\x+4=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=4\\x=-4\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy: S={4;-4}
b) Ta có: \(x^3-25x=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x^2-25\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x-5\right)\left(x+5\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x-5=0\\x+5=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x=5\\x=-5\end{matrix}\right.\)
Vậy: S={0;5;-5}
c) Ta có: \(x^2+4x=-4\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2+4x+4=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x+2\right)^2=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x+2=0\)
hay x=-2
Vậy: S={-2}
d) Ta có: \(x^3+2x=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(x^2+2\right)=0\)
mà \(x^2+2>0\forall x\)
nên x=0
Vậy: S={0}
