Answer:


x^(2)(x+4)+5(x+4)\\(x^(2) +5)(x+4).

Explanation:

In order to be able to determine the facts of
x^(3)+4x^(2)  +5x +20

you just have ti group and search for a term in common that could help you factorize into two separated terms, first, you try and factorize the first two terms:


x^(3)+4x^(2)  \\x^(2) (x+4)

Remember always trying to take out the maximum exponential possible, in this case we were able to withdraw the
x^(2) and this helps us to factorize easier the second one since we already have a term that we want to have in common whic wuold be (x+4):


5x+20\\5(x+4)

Now we just put together the
x^(2) and the 5, and we multiply it by our common factor:


(x^(2) +5)(x+4).
