tried: ±1 , ±2 and found
x = 2 to be a triple root.
successive synthetic divisions shows
x^5−8x^4+28x^3−56x^2+64x−32=0
(notice how we show exponents)
x=2 to be triple root
so
x^5−8x^4+28x^3−56x^2+64x−32=0
(x-2)^3 (x^2 - 2x + 4) = 0
our remaining quadratic has no real roots
x = (2 ± √-12)/2
= 1 ± √-3
= 1 ± i√3
so x = 2 , 1 ± i√3
