Factor - 8x^3-2x^2-12x-3 by grouping. what is the resulting expression? A. (2x^2-3) (4x+1) B. (-2x^2-3) (-4x+1) C. (2x^2-3) (-4x + 1) D. (-2x^2-3) (4x + 1)

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is:

-8x^3-2x^2-12x-3

Group the first two terms and last two terms together.

(-8x^3-2x^2) (-12x-3)

Take out common from each group

-2x^2 (4x+1) - 3 (4x+1)

(4x+1) (-2x^2-3)

Thus the correct option is D ...
