x^{2}\left(-x-2\right)-4\left(-x-2\right)
Do the grouping -x^{3}-2x^{2}+4x+8=\left(-x^{3}-2x^{2}\right)+\left(4x+8\right), and factor out x^{2} in the first and -4 in the second group.
\left(-x-2\right)\left(x^{2}-4\right)
Factor out common term -x-2 by using distributive property.
\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)
Consider x^{2}-4. Rewrite x^{2}-4 as x^{2}-2^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
\left(-x-2\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression.
