2x^{4}+x^{3}+7x^{2}+4x-4=0
To factor the expression, solve the equation where it equals to 0.
±2,±4,±1,±\frac{1}{2}
By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term -4 and q divides the leading coefficient 2. List all candidates \frac{p}{q}.
x=-1
Find one such root by trying out all the integer values, starting from the smallest by absolute value. If no integer roots are found, try out fractions.
2x^{3}-x^{2}+8x-4=0
By Factor theorem, x-k is a factor of the polynomial for each root k. Divide 2x^{4}+x^{3}+7x^{2}+4x-4 by x+1 to get 2x^{3}-x^{2}+8x-4. To factor the result, solve the equation where it equals to 0.

x=\frac{1}{2}
Find one such root by trying out all the integer values, starting from the smallest by absolute value. If no integer roots are found, try out fractions.
x^{2}+4=0
By Factor theorem, x-k is a factor of the polynomial for each root k. Divide 2x^{3}-x^{2}+8x-4 by 2\left(x-\frac{1}{2}\right)=2x-1 to get x^{2}+4. To factor the result, solve the equation where it equals to 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 1\times 4}}{2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and 4 for c in the quadratic formula.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-16}}{2}
Do the calculations.
x^{2}+4
Polynomial x^{2}+4 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
\left(2x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x^{2}+4\right)
Rewrite the factored expression using the obtained roots.
