Answer:

The factor that is missing from sets of parenthesis is  \((6x^2+11)\)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is

\(24x^3-54x^2+44x-99\)

We can rewrite this polynomial as

\(24x^3+44x-54x^2-99\)

This polynomial can be factored by making groups as shown below

\((24x^3+44x)+(-54x^2-99)\)

Now, we take GCF from each group.

From the first group we take  4x common

From the second group we take -9 common

\(4x(6x^2+11)-9(6x^2+11)\)

We can see that the factor that is missing from sets of parenthesis is  \((6x^2+11)\)
