a) \(7x\left(y-4\right)^2-\left(4-y\right)^3\)
\(=7x\left(y-4\right)^2+\left(y-4\right)^3\)
\(=\left(y-4\right)^2\left(7x+y-4\right)\)
b) \(3x\left(x+7\right)^2-11x^2\left(x+7\right)+9\left(x+7\right)\)
\(=\left(x+7\right)\left[3x\left(x+7\right)-11x^2+9\right]\)
\(=\left(x+7\right)\left(-8x^2+21x+9\right)\)
\(=\left(x+7\right)\left(3-x\right)\left(8x+3\right)\)
