a: Ta có: \(40x^4+5x=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow5x\left(8x^3+1\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x\left(2x+1\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=0\\x=-\dfrac{1}{2}\end{matrix}\right.\)
b: Ta có: \(8x^2-2x-1=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow8x^2-4x+2x-1=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(2x-1\right)\left(4x+1\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=\dfrac{1}{2}\\x=-\dfrac{1}{4}\end{matrix}\right.\)
