x\left(3x^{4}-5x^{2}+2\right)
Factor out x.
\left(3x^{2}-2\right)\left(x^{2}-1\right)
Consider 3x^{4}-5x^{2}+2. Find one factor of the form kx^{m}+n, where kx^{m} divides the monomial with the highest power 3x^{4} and n divides the constant factor 2. One such factor is 3x^{2}-2. Factor the polynomial by dividing it by this factor.
\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)
Consider x^{2}-1. Rewrite x^{2}-1 as x^{2}-1^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
x\left(3x^{2}-2\right)\left(x-1\right)\left(x+1\right)
Rewrite the complete factored expression. Polynomial 3x^{2}-2 is not factored since it does not have any rational roots.
