Nice way of tagging all in the question itself.. :)

anonymous · Answer

1. Firstly you can factor out $x^2$ out of it..

anonymous · Answer

$$\implies \color{green}{x^2(8x^2 + 6x - 2)}$$

Now you have got Quadratic equation, can you factor this equation or not?

anonymous · Answer

2x^2(x+1)(4x-1)

anonymous · Answer

Then I would bring out the 2 from waterineyes's equation.

anonymous · Answer

Yes you can..!!

yeah, yeah.........since ya'll got it, can I troll?

anonymous · Answer

Go for it, the floor is yours

anonymous · Answer

8x^4+6x^3-2x^2
=2x^2(4x^2+3x-1)
=2x^2[4x^2+4x-1x-1]    (4*-1=-4,4-1=3)
now you can factorise

anonymous · Answer

Someone has factorized it earlier, so no need to again factorize it.. :)
