Factor -8x^3-2x^2-12x-3 by grouping. what is the resulting expression? a. (2x^2-3)(4x+1) b. (-2x^2-+1) c. (2x^2- + 1) -3)(4x +1)

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

-8x^3-2x^2-12x-3

Group the first two terms and last two terms together.

(-8x^3-2x^2) (-12x-3)

Take out common from each group

-2x^2(4x+1)-3(4x+1)

(4x+1)(-2x^2-3)

Thus the correct option is D

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?

the answer is d

the answer is in the first quadrant, which make the y-int positive.

since the dots are going down, therefore the correlation is negative

i hope it is right.
