    Kindly proofread the question!

    The leading term is x^6, not x5.

    Answer: The additional roots are - 2, + 2, each with multiplicity 2.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    x^6 - 16x^2 = 4x^4 - 64

    x^6 - 4x^4 - 16x^2 + 64 = 0

    (x+2i) (x-2i) = (x^2+4) is a factor.

    (x-2) (x+2) (x-2) (x+2) (x^2+4) = 0

    Polynomial long division by x^2+4

    x^6 - 4x^4 - 16x^2 + 64 = 0

    First term of quotient is x^4

    Subtract x^6+4x^4

    Remainder is - 8x^4 - 16x^2+64

    Second quotient term is - 8x^2

    Subtract - 8x^4-32x^2

    Remainder is 16x^2+64

    Third quotient term is 16

    Subtract 16x^2+64

    Remainder is zero

    Quotient is x^4 - 8x^2 + 16

    (x^2-4) ^2 = x^4 + 2 (1) (-4) x^2 + 16

    (x-2) (x+2) (x-2) (x+2) (x^2+4) = 0
