Could anyone try to graph x^4 + 2x^3 + 8x^2= 0

*I tried using a graphing calculator but I could hardly see the points, had no idea how to zoom in.
So if anyone could help me with this one...

Maybe someone could try putting this into their calculator and see what comes out. 
I'm extremely bad at math.

exactly what are you trying to accomplish here?  do you want only the graph or do you want to know where the graph touches the x-axis?

anonymous · Answer

I would like to know what the graph looks like and where the graph touches the x-axis.

this is function that grow very fast.... much faster than x^2 type functions.... so you probably won't see much "action" for very small values of x... they're all "close" to zero...
but as far as where the graph touches the x-axis, you can figure that out without the graphing calculator by factoring your equation....

Alright I'll try by doing that. Someone sent me this website. Would this be helpful? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=x^4+%2B+2x^3+%2B+8x^2%3D+0
