\(a,=\left(x-2y\right)\left(x+2y\right)-2\left(x-2y\right)=\left(x-2y\right)\left(x+2y-2\right)\\ b,=\left(x^2+3y\right)^2-1=\left(x^2+3y-1\right)\left(x^2+3y+1\right)\)
\(b)x^4+6x^2y+9y^2-1\\=(x^4+6x^2y+9y^2)-1\\=(x^2+3y)^2-1\\=(x^2+3y-1)(x^2+3y+1)\\a) x^2-2x+4y^2+4y\\=(x^2-4y^2)-(2x-4y)\\=(x-2y)(x+2y)-2(x-2y)\\=(x-2y)(x+2y-2)\)
\(x^2-2x-4y^2+4y=x^2-2x+1-4y^2+4y-1=\left(x-1\right)^2-\left(2y-1\right)^2=\left(x-1-2y+1\right)\left(x-1+2y-1\right)=\left(x-2y\right)\left(x+2y-2\right)\)
\(x^4+6x^2y+9y^2-1=\left(x^2+3y\right)^2-1=\left(x^2+3y-1\right)\left(x^2+3y+1\right)\)
