Answer:

(2x - 1)(2x + 1)(x - 7)

Explanation:

We use grouping to factor.

Step 1: Group 1st 2 terms together and factor

4x³ - 28x²

4x²(x - 7)

Step 2: Group last 2 terms together and factor

-x + 7

-1(x - 7)

Step 3: Combine

(4x² - 1)(x - 7)

Step 4: Factor out quadratic

(2x - 1)(2x + 1)(x - 7)
