a: \(=x^2-2xy-5xy+10y^2\)
\(=x\left(x-2y\right)-5y\left(x-2y\right)\)
\(=\left(x-2y\right)\left(x-5y\right)\)
b: \(=5x^2+5xy+xy+y^2\)
\(=5x\left(x+y\right)+y\left(x+y\right)\)
\(=\left(x+y\right)\left(5x+y\right)\)
c: \(x^4-2x^3+2x-1\)
\(=\left(x^2-1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)-2x\left(x^2-1\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2-1\right)\left(x^2+1-2x\right)\)
\(=\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)^3\)
