a) x³y + x - y - 1
= (x³y - y) + (x - 1)
= y(x³ - 1) + (x - 1)
= y(x - 1)(x² + x + 1) + (x - 1)
= (x - 1)[y(x² + x + 1) + 1]
= (x - 1)(x²y + xy + y + 1)
b) x²(x - 2) + 4(2 - x)
= x²(x - 2) - 4(x - 2)
= (x - 2)(x² - 4)
= (x - 2)(x - 2)(x + 2)
= (x - 2)²(x + 2)
c) x³ - x² - 20x
= x(x² - x - 20)
= x(x² + 4x - 5x - 20)
= x[(x² + 4x) - (5x + 20)]
= x[x(x + 4) - 5(x + 4)]
= x(x + 4)(x - 5)
d) (x² + 1)² - (x + 1)²
= (x² + 1 - x - 1)(x² + 1 + x + 1)
= (x² - x)(x² + x + 2)
= x(x - 1)(x² + x + 2)
e) 6x² - 7x + 2
= 6x² - 3x - 4x + 2
= (6x² - 3x) - (4x - 2)
= 3x(2x - 1) - 2(2x - 1)
= (2x - 1)(3x - 2)
f) x⁴ + 8x² + 12
= x⁴ + 2x² + 6x² + 12
= (x⁴ + 2x²) + (6x² + 12)
= x²(x² + 2) + 6(x² + 2)
= (x² + 2)(x² + 6)
g) (x³ + x + 1)(x³ + x) - 2
Đặt u = x³ + x
x³ + x + 1 = u + 1
(u + 1).u - 2
= u² + u - 2
= u² - u + 2u - 2
= (u² - u) + (2u - 2)
= u(u - 1) + 2(u - 1)
= (u - 1)(u + 2)
= (x³ + x - 1)(x³ + x + 2)
= (x³ + x - 1)(x³ + x² - x² - x + 2x + 2)
= (x³ + x - 1)[(x³ + x²) - (x² + x) + (2x + 2)]
= (x³ + x - 1)[x²(x + 1) - x(x + 1) + 2(x + 1)]
= (x³ + x - 1)(x - 1)(x² - x + 2)
h) (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3)(x + 4) - 1

Đặt u = x² + 5x + 4
u + 2 = x² + 5x + 6
(1) u.(u + 2) - 1
= u² + 2u - 1
= u² + 2u + 1 - 2
= (u² + 2u + 1) - 2
= (u + 1)² - 2
= (u + 1 + √2)(u + 1 - √2)
= (x² + 5x + 4 + 1 + √2)(x² + 5x + 4 + 1 - √2)
= (x² + 5x + 5 + √2)(x² + 5x + 5 - √2)
