Answer:

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

Explanation:

We have:


8x^5-12x^4+16x^3.

  1. Factor out the greatest common factor of these 3 terms. In this case, it is
    4x^3. We end up with the expression

    4x^3(2x^2-3x+4)
  2. Since the expression
    2x^2-3x+4 cannot be factored, the final answer is

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