Final answer:

To factor the expression -7x^3+21x^2+3x-9 by grouping, we can factor out the common binomial factor of (x-3) from each group.

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the expression -7x3+21x2+3x-9 by grouping, we can group the terms in pairs:

Group 1: -7x3+21x2

Group 2: 3x-9

Now we can factor out the common factor in each group:

Group 1: -7x2(x-3)

Group 2: 3(x-3)

Finally, we can factor out the common binomial factor of (x-3) from both groups:

-7x3+21x2+3x-9 = (x-3)(-7x2+3)
