Factor $LaTeX: \displaystyle - 48 x^{3} - 30 x^{2} - 40 x - 25$ .

Factoring out the GCF $LaTeX: \displaystyle -1$ from each term gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle -(48 x^{3} + 30 x^{2} + 40 x + 25)$ . Grouping the first two terms and factoring out their GCF, $LaTeX: \displaystyle 6 x^{2}$ , gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle 6 x^{2}(8 x + 5)$ . Grouping the last two terms and factoring out their GCF, $LaTeX: \displaystyle 5$ , gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle 5(8 x + 5)$ . The polynomial now has a common binomial factor of $LaTeX: \displaystyle 8 x + 5$ . This gives $LaTeX: \displaystyle -1[6 x^{2} \left(8 x + 5\right) +5 \cdot \left(8 x + 5\right)] = -\left(8 x + 5\right) \left(6 x^{2} + 5\right)$ .
