P(x)=x^3+2x^2-4x-8 how do you factor this polynomial function

<h2>Steps:</h2>

So for this, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, factor x³ + 2x² and -4x - 8 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses:

$p(x)=x^2(x+2)-4(x+2)$

Now we can rewrite it as:

$p(x)=(x^2-4)(x+2)$

However, we aren't finished factoring yet. The first factor, x² - 4, can be factored further using the difference of squares. The difference of squares goes by the formula here: $x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y)$ . In this case:
