Answer:


-x3-4x2-5x=-x(x^2+4x+5)

Explanation:

we are given the polynomial as


-x3-4x2-5x

here we can see that the GCF of
-x^3 ,
-4x^2 and
-5x is


-x

Hence we take it outside the bracket


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

The polynomial within the bracket
x^2+4x+5 can not be factorized further , hence this would be our final answer.
