Answer:

[tex]2x^2y\left(x^2y^2-6xy-4\right)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey!

Let's start by applying some exponent rules:

[tex]2x^4y^3-12x^3y^2-8x^2y[/tex]

[tex]=2x^2x^2yy^2-12x^2xyy-8x^2y[/tex]

Rewriting our -8 and -12

[tex]=2x^2x^2yy^2+6\cdot \:2x^2xyy+4\cdot \:2x^2y[/tex]

Factoring out the common term:

[tex]=2x^2y\left(x^2y^2-6xy-4\right)[/tex]

Thus, our final answer is [tex]\boxed{2x^2y\left(x^2y^2-6xy-4\right)}[/tex]
