ANSWER:

It is not a special product

Explanation:

We have the following expression:


4x^3-6x^2-28x

Among the special products we have:

The sum and difference of same terms

The square of a binomial

The cube of a binomial

Let's factor the expression to determine if it satisfies any of the above:


\begin{gathered} 2x\cdot\left(2x^2-3x-14\right? \\ 2x^(2)-3x-14 \\ -3x=4x-7x \\ 2x^2+4x-7x-14 \\ 2x\left(x+2\right?-7\left(x+2\right? \\ 2x\cdot\left(x+2\right)\cdot\left(2x-7\right) \end{gathered}

Therefore, we can determine that it does not belong to the group of special products.
