Given the numerical equation:

4c^3 + 8c^2 - 9c - 18

Factor the given numerical equation by grouping.

Solution:

In order to factor the given equation, we simply group 4c^3 with 8c^2 and 9c with -18 separately.

= (4c^3 + 8c^2) - (9c - 18)

Factor out the greatest common factor for both equations.

= 4c^2(c + 2) - 9(c - 2)

Final answer:

= 4c^2(c + 2) - 9(c - 2)
