You also have to factorize the quadratic equation
so its actually -4(x-5.162)(x+1.162)
but if you dont want decimals then you left it at the right place.

Youre not wrong, but its also not COMPLETELY factorized :P
what i did was use the discriminant equation to get a completely factorized solution :)
