O A. (x-4)(x + 4i)(x + 4i)
B. (x + 4)(x + 4i)(x + 4i)
C. (x + 4)(x + 4i)(x-4i)
O D. (x-4)(x + 4i)(x-4i)

Given:

Consider the given polynomial is:

[tex]x^3+4x^2+16x+64[/tex]

To find:

The complete factorization of the given polynomial.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]x^3+4x^2+16x+64[/tex]

Using grouping method, we get

[tex]=(x^3+4x^2)+(16x+64)[/tex]

[tex]=x^2(x+4)+16(x+4)[/tex]

[tex]=(x+4)(x^2+16)[/tex]

[tex]=(x+4)(x+4i)(x-4i)[/tex]         [tex][\because x^2+y^2=(x+iy)(x-iy)][/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is C.
