I'm currently following through your video, and when dividing the factors of the leading coefficient and the constant, in my case, the q (leading coefficient) which is x^4 or 1, do I continue dividing the p's (constant) factors of -12 with +- 1?

Factors that consist of your constant 12 are:

+/-12, +/-1, +/-3, +/-4, +/-2, +/-6

You divide each of these by +/-1 from the factors that make up the leading coefficient of 1

Ok so my final answer was f(x) = (x+1)(x+1)(x+3)(x-4) (x^2 + 5x+3), not sure if it is correct, mind checking it over?

It should be:

f(x) = (x+1)2(x+3)(x-4)

No need for the (x^2 + 5x+3) at the end.

Good work!

PS: Did the videos help?
