Factor Completely....
12x^5+16x^4-28x3
---
Common Factor: 4x^3
---
= 4x^3[3x^2 + 4x - 7]
----
= 4x^3(3x^2 +7x-3x - 7]
---
= 4x^3[x(3x+7)-(3x+7)]
---
= 4x^3(3x+7)(x-1)

12x^5 + 16x^4 -28x^3
= 4x^3(3x^2 + 4x -7)
now, factorize: 3x^2 + 4x -7
= 3x^2 + 7x -3x -7
= x(3x + 7) -1(3x +7)
= (x-1)(3x+7)
so, answers : 4x^3 * (x-1) * (3x+7)
