To factor the polynomial x³ + 12x² - 4x - 48, we can use various factoring methods to simplify the expression. In this case, we'll use the grouping method:

Step 1: Group the terms: (x³ + 12x²) + (-4x - 48)

Step 2: Factor out the common factor from each group:
In the first group, we can factor out x²: x²(x + 12).
In the second group, we can...
