\(\left(x^2-x+1\right)^2-5x\left(x^2-x+1\right)+4x^2\)
\(=\left(x^2-x+1\right)^2-2\left(x^2-x+1\right)\dfrac{5}{2}x+\left(\dfrac{5}{2}x\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{3}{2}x\right)^2\)
\(=\left(x^2-x+1-\dfrac{5}{2}x\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{3}{2}x\right)^2\)
\(=\left(x^2-\dfrac{7}{2}x+1\right)^2-\left(\dfrac{3}{2}x\right)^2\)
\(=\left(x^2-\dfrac{7}{2}x+1-\dfrac{3}{2}x\right)\left(x^2-\dfrac{7}{2}x+1+\dfrac{3}{2}x\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2-5x+1\right)\left(x^2-2x+1\right)\)
