a) \(2x^2+5x+2\)
\(=2x^2+4x+x+2\)
\(=2x\left(x+2\right)+\left(x+2\right)\)
\(=\left(x+2\right)\left(2x+1\right)\)
b) \(4x^2-4x-9y^2+12y-3\)
\(=\left(4x^2-4x+1\right)-\left(9y^2-12y+4\right)\)
\(=\left(2x-1\right)^2-\left(3y-2\right)^2\)
\(=\left(2x-1+3y-2\right)\left(2x-1-3y+2\right)\)
\(=\left(2x+3y-3\right)\left(2x-3y+1\right)\)
c) \(x^4-2x^3-4x^2+4x-3\)
\(=x^4+x^3-x^2+x-3x^2-3x+3x-3\)
\(=\left(x^4+x^3-x^2+x\right)-\left(3x^2+3x-3x+3\right)\)
\(=x\left(x^3+x^2-x+1\right)-3\left(x^3+x^2-x+1\right)\)
\(=\left(x^3+x^2-x+1\right)\left(x-3\right)\)
d) \(x^3-x+3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3-y\)
\(=\left(x^3+3x^2y+3xy^2+y^3\right)-\left(x+y\right)\)
\(=\left(x+y\right)^3-\left(x+y\right)\)
\(=\left(x+y\right)\left[\left(x+y\right)^2-1\right]\)
\(=\left(x+y\right)\left(x+y-1\right)\left(x+y+1\right)\)
