2\left(-x^{3}+2x+4\right)
Factor out 2.
\left(x-2\right)\left(-x^{2}-2x-2\right)
Consider -x^{3}+2x+4. By Rational Root Theorem, all rational roots of a polynomial are in the form \frac{p}{q}, where p divides the constant term 4 and q divides the leading coefficient -1. One such root is 2. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by x-2.
2\left(x-2\right)\left(-x^{2}-2x-2\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression. Polynomial -x^{2}-2x-2 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
