Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^3 + x^2 −4x − 4

Factor by grouping  taking x^2 out of the first group and -4 out of the second

0 = x^3 + x^2      −4x − 4

     x^2(x+1)     -4(x+1)

Factor out (x+1)

0=(x+1)(x^2-4)

Now we have the difference of squares

0=(x+1) (x-2)(x+2)

x+1 is a factor
