Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the factors of the function

The function is given as: \[ h(x) = -4x(x-2)(x^{2}-25) \] The factors of the function are \( -4x \), \( (x-2) \), and \( (x^{2}-25) \).

Step 2: Set each factor equal to zero

To find the zeros of the function, set each factor equal to zero:

  1. \( -4x = 0 \)
  2. \( x-2 = 0 \)
  3. \( x^{2}-25 = 0 \)
Step 3: Solve each equation
  1. Solve \( -4x = 0 \): \[ -4x = 0 \implies x = 0 \]
  2. Solve \( x-2 = 0 \): \[ x-2 = 0 \implies x = 2 \]
  3. Solve \( x^{2}-25 = 0 \): \[ x^{2}-25 = 0 \implies x^{2} = 25 \implies x = \pm 5 \]
Step 4: List all real zeros

The real zeros of the function are: \[ x = 0, \, x = 2, \, x = 5, \, x = -5 \]

zero(s): \[ \boxed{0, 2, 5, -5} \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{0, 2, 5, -5}\)
