a: \(\left(2x+1\right)\left(4x^2-2x+1\right)-8x\left(x^2+2\right)=17\)
\(\Leftrightarrow8x^3+1-8x^3-16x=17\)
\(\Leftrightarrow16x=-16\)
hay x=-1
b: \(x^3-3x^2-4x+12=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)\left(x+2\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x=3\\x=2\\x=-2\end{matrix}\right.\)
