Answer:

p(x)=(x)(x-2)(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to factor function p is by grouping.

p(x)=x^3-2x^2-4x^2+8x           (Group the terms)

=(x^3-2x^2)+(-4x^2+8x)           (Factor each group separately)

=x^2(x-2)-4x(x-2)                      (Factor x-2 from each term.)

=x(x-4)(x-2)

What is a polynomial function?

A polynomial function is a function that involves only non-negative integer powers or only positive integer exponents of a variable in an equation like the quadratic equation, cubic equation.

Given polynomial function

[tex]p(x)=x^{3}-2x^{2} -4x^{2} +8x[/tex]

Group the terms

= [tex](x^{3} -2x^{2} )+(-4x^{2} +8x)[/tex]

Factor each group separately

= [tex]x^{2} (x-2)-4x(x-2)[/tex]

Factor [tex]x-2[/tex] from each term

= [tex](x^{2} -4x)(x-2)[/tex]

Factor [tex]x[/tex] from [tex]x^{2} -4x[/tex]

= [tex]x(x-4)(x-2)[/tex]

Factors of given polynomial function [tex]x(x-4)(x-2)[/tex].
