a) \(x^4+5x^3+10x-4\)
\(=\left(x^4+2x^2\right)+\left(5x^3+10x\right)-\left(2x^2+4\right)\)
\(=x^2\left(x^2+2\right)+5x\left(x^2+2\right)-2\left(x^2+2\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2+2\right)\left(x^2+5x-2\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2+2\right)\left(x^2+2.x.\frac{5}{2}+\frac{25}{4}-\frac{25}{4}-2\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2+2\right)\left[\left(x+\frac{5}{2}\right)^2-\frac{33}{4}\right]\)
\(=\left(x^2+2\right)\left[\left(x+\frac{5}{2}\right)^2-\left(\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2}\right)^2\right]\)
\(=\left(x^2+2\right)\left(x+\frac{5}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2}\right)\left(x^2+\frac{5}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{33}}{2}\right)\)
b) \(x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz\)
\(=\left(x+y\right)^3+z^3-3xy\left(x+y\right)-3xyz\)
\(=\left(x+y+z\right)\left[\left(x+y\right)^2-z\left(x+y\right)+z^2\right]-3xy\left(x+y+z\right)\)
\(=\left(x+y+z\right)\left(x^2+y^2+2xy-zx-zy+z^2-3xy\right)\)
\(=\left(x+y+z\right)\left(x^2+y^2+z^2-xy-zx-zy\right)\)
