Answer 1

(x+3)(x+4)(x-4)

x+2 and x-3 are not factors but x-4 is

Explanation:

let's factor it :)

x^3 + 3x^2 - 16x -48

first we will factor this:

x^3 + 3x^2

x^2(x + 3)

then factor the second part :

- 16x - 48

-16(x + 3)

so now,

x^2(x + 3) - 16(x + 3)

factor out x+3

(x+3)(x^2 - 16)

factor x^2 - 16

(x+3)(x+4)(x-4)
