a.
\(x^4+4=x^4+4x^2+4-4x^2\)
\(=\left(x^2+2\right)^2-\left(2x\right)^2=\left(x^2-2x+2\right)\left(x^2+2x+2\right)\)
b.
\(x^3-9x^2+6x+16=\left(x^3-7x^2-8x\right)-\left(2x^2-14x-16\right)\)
\(=x\left(x^2-7x-8\right)-2\left(x^2-7x-8\right)\)
\(=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2-7x-8\right)=\left(x-2\right)\left(x^2+x-8x-8\right)\)
\(=\left(x-2\right)\left[x\left(x+1\right)-8\left(x+1\right)\right]=\left(x-2\right)\left(x+1\right)\left(x-8\right)\)
c.
\(\left(x+2\right)\left(x+3\right)\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)-24\)
\(=\left(x+2\right)\left(x+5\right)\left(x+3\right)\left(x+4\right)-24\)
\(=\left(x^2+7x+10\right)\left(x^2+7x+10+2\right)-24\)
\(=\left(x^2+7x+10\right)^2+2\left(x^2+7x+10\right)-24\)
\(=\left(x^2+7x+10\right)^2-4\left(x^2+7x+10\right)+6\left(x^2+7x+10\right)-24\)
\(=\left(x^2+7x+10\right)\left(x^2+7x+10-4\right)+6\left(x^2+7x+10-4\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2+7x+10-4\right)\left(x^2+7x+10+6\right)=\left(x^2+7x+6\right)\left(x^2+7x+16\right)\)
\(=\left(x+1\right)\left(x+6\right)\left(x^2+7x+16\right)\)
