4x^3 + 8x^2 - 25x - 50
Steps
(4x^3 + 8x^2) + (-25x - 30)
Factor out 4x^2 from 4x^3 + 8x^2: 4x^2(x + 2)
Factor out -25 from -25x - 50: -25(x + 2)
= 4x^2(x + 2) - 25(x + 2)
Then, factor out common term (x + 2)
= (x + 2)(4x^2 - 25)
Factor 4x^2 - 25: (2x + 5)(2x - 5)
= (x + 2)(2x + 5)(2x - 5)
Which the answer to this is the 3rd option.
