a: \(16x^2-\left(x^2-4\right)^2\)
\(=\left(4x\right)^2-\left(x^2-4\right)^2\)
\(=\left(4x-x^2+4\right)\left(4x+x^2-4\right)\)
b: \(5x^2-5xy+7y-7x\)
\(=5x^2-5xy-\left(7x-7y\right)\)
=5x(x-y)-7(x-y)
=(x-y)(5x-7)
c: \(x^2-y^2+2x+1\)
\(=\left(x^2+2x+1\right)-y^2\)
\(=\left(x+1\right)^2-y^2\)
=(x+1+y)(x+1-y)
