a) $x^3-3x^2y+4x-12y$
$=(x^3-3x^2y)+(4x-12y)$
$=x^2(x-3y)+4(x-3y)$
$=(x-3y)(x^2+4)$
b) $4x^2-y^2+4y-4$
$=4x^2-(y^2-4y+4)$
$=(2x)^2-(y^2-2\cdot y\cdot2+2^2)$
$=(2x)^2-(y-2)^2$
$=[2x-(y-2)][2x+(y-2)]$
$=(2x-y+2)(2x+y-2)$
c) $9x^2-6x-y^2+2y$
$=(9x^2-y^2)-(6x-2y)$
$=[(3x)^2-y^2]-2(3x-y)$
$=(3x-y)(3x+y)-2(3x-y)$
$=(3x-y)(3x+y-2)$
