Answer:

-3x^2-21x+24

Explanation:

Kindly separate the answer choices: (x - 4), (x + 1), (x + 4) , (x - 1). The trinomial is thus -3x^2-21x+24, which can be factored as follows: -3(x^2 + 7x - 8)

Then we have -3x^2-21x+24 = -3(x^2 + 7x - 8), which factors further into:

-3(x + 8)(x -1) and so we conclude that the only binomial that is a factor of

-3x^2-21x+24 is (x - 1).
