x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We apply the rational root theorem to find the a root:

$a_{0}=12;a_{n}=1\\$

Now, the divisors:

$a_{0}:1,2,3,4,6,12\\a_{n}:1$

Now we verify each divisor:

$\pm \frac{1,2,3,4,6,12}{1} \\\\\frac{1}{1}; root$

Now we know one root:

$(x-1)\frac{x^{5} + 4x^{3} - 17x + 12}{x-1}$

Giving the final answer that one linear factor is x-1
