Rearrange in descending order:
-16x%5E2%2B52x%2B14
Factor out a negative 1
-%2816x%5E2-52x-14%29
Now factor the inside trinomial

ERROR Algebra::Solver::Engine::invoke_solver_noengine: solver not defined for name 'quadratic_factoring'.
Error occurred executing solver 'quadratic_factoring' .



So after we factor we get
-%288x%2B2%29%282x-7%29
