a: \(\left(x^3-x^2+x\right)\left(121-25y^2-10y\right)-\left(x^3-x^2+x\right)-\left(121-25y^2-10y\right)+1\)
\(=\left(x^3-x^2+x\right)\left(120-25y^2-10y\right)-\left(120-25y^2-10y\right)\)
\(=\left(120-25y^2-10y\right)\left(x^3-x^2+x-1\right)\)
\(=-\left[\left(25y^2+10y+1\right)-121\right]\left[x^2\left(x-1\right)+\left(x-1\right)\right]\)
\(=-\left(5y-10\right)\left(5y-12\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)\)
\(=-5\left(y-2\right)\left(5y-12\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x^2+1\right)\)
b: \(x^4-14x^3+71x^2-154x+120\)
\(=x^4-5x^3-9x^3+45x^2+26x^2-130x-24x+120\)
\(=\left(x-5\right)\left(x^3-9x^2+26x-24\right)\)
\(=\left(x-5\right)\left(x^3-4x^2-5x^2+20x+6x-24\right)\)
\(=\left(x-5\right)\left(x-4\right)\left(x^2-5x+6\right)\)
\(=\left(x-5\right)\left(x-4\right)\left(x-3\right)\left(x-2\right)\)
