Answer:

x = -2, x= -5 , x= +5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 + 2x^2 -25x - 50 = 0

Factor by grouping

x^3 + 2x^2        -25x - 50 = 0

x^2(x+2)   -25( x+2) = 0

(x+2) ( x^2 -25) =0

Using the zero product property

x+2 =0     x^2 -25 =0

x=-2            x^2 = 25

x= -2            Taking the square root of each side

                     x = ±5
