a) x^4 - 3x^2 + 1
=x4-2x2+1-x2
=(x2-1)2-x2
=(x2-x-1)(x2+x-1)
a/ \(=x^4+x^3-x^2-x^3-x^2+x-x^2-x+1=x^2\left(x^2+x-1\right)-x\left(x^2+x-1\right)-\left(x^2+x-1\right)=\left(x^2+x-1\right)\left(x^2-x-1\right)\)
b/ \(=x\left(x^3-x+2\right)\)
c/ \(=x^4+x^3+x^2-x^3-x^2-x+x^2+x+1=x^2\left(x^2+x+1\right)-x\left(x^2+x+1\right)+\left(x^2+x+1\right)=\left(x^2+x+1\right)\left(x^2-x+1\right)\)
