The solution

You have entered [src]
(c - 4)*(c + 4) = 0
(c4)(c+4)=0\left(c - 4\right) \left(c + 4\right) = 0
Detail solution
Expand the expression in the equation
(c4)(c+4)=0\left(c - 4\right) \left(c + 4\right) = 0
We get the quadratic equation
c216=0c^{2} - 16 = 0
This equation is of the form
a*c^2 + b*c + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
c1=Db2ac_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
c2=Db2ac_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
a=1a = 1
b=0b = 0
c=16c = -16
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(0)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-16) = 64

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
c1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

c2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
c1=4c_{1} = 4
c2=4c_{2} = -4
