Answer:

[tex]4 {x}^{3} - 400x = 4x(x + 10)(x - 10)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to factor

[tex]4 {x}^{3} - 400x[/tex]

First, we factor the GCF to get:

[tex]4x( {x}^{2} - 100)[/tex]

Now, we rewrite the expression in the parenthesis as difference of two squares.

[tex]4x( {x}^{2} - 100) = 4x( {x}^{2} - {10}^{2} )[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex] {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a + b)(a - b)[/tex]

We apply this property to get:

[tex]4x( {x}^{2} - 100) = 4x(x + 10)(x - 10)[/tex]

Therefore the completely factored form of the given expresion is:

[tex]4x(x + 10)(x - 10)[/tex]
