\(x^3-5x^2+8x-4\)
\(=x^3-x^2-4x^2+4x+4x-4\)
\(=\left(x^3-x^2\right)-\left(4x^2-4x\right)+\left(4x-4\right)\)
\(=x^2\left(x-1\right)-4x\left(x-1\right)+4\left(x-1\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2-4x+4\right)\left(x-1\right)\)
\(=\left(x^2-2.2x+2^2\right)\left(x-1\right)\)
\(=\left(x-2\right)^2\left(x-1\right)\)
=x3-x2-4x2+4x+4x-4
=x2(x-1)-4x(x-1)+4(x-1)
=(x-1)(x2-4x+4)
=(x-1)(x-2)2
