\(a,49.\left(y-4\right)^2-9y^2-36y-36=49\left(y-4\right)^2-9\left(y^2+4y+4\right)\)
\(=49\left(y-4\right)^2-9\left(y+4\right)^2=\left(7y-28\right)^2-\left(3y+12\right)^2\)
\(=\left(7y-28+3y+12\right)\left(7y-28-3y-12\right)\)
\(=\left(10y-16\right)\left(4y-40\right)=8\left(5y-8\right)\left(y-10\right)\)
\(b,xyz-\left(xy+yz+xz\right)+\left(x+y+z\right)-1\)
\(=xyz-xy-yz-xz+x+y+z-1\)
\(=\left(xyz-xy\right)-\left(xz-x\right)-\left(yz-y\right)+\left(z-1\right)\)
\(=xy\left(z-1\right)-x\left(z-1\right)-y\left(z-1\right)+\left(z-1\right)\)
\(=\left(z-1\right)\left(xy-x-y+1\right)\)
\(=\left(z-1\right)\text{[}x\left(y-1\right)-\left(y-1\right)\text{]}\)
\(=\left(z-1\right)\left(y-1\right)\left(x-1\right)\)
