x^3-2x^2-x+2=x^2(x-2)-(x-2)=(x^2-1)(x-2)=(x-1)(x+1)(x-2)
a)(x3- x) - (2x2 - 2)
= x (x2 - 1) - 2 (x2 - 1)
= (x - 2) (x2-1)
a) \(x^3-2x^2-x+2=\left(x^3-x\right)+\left(-2x^2+2\right)\)
\(=x\left(x^2-1\right)-2\left(x^2-1\right)=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2-1\right)=\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x-1\right)\)
b) \(x^2+6x-y^2+9=\left(x^2+6x+9\right)-y^2\)
\(\left(x+3\right)^2-y^2=\left(x+3-y\right)\left(x+3+y\right)\)
