One way to get the other factor of  (x^4) -2x³-2x² +8  is doing the long division. 
 Divided by x² – 4x + 4 ,  you  get x² + 2x + 2

  Now,  (X^4 )- 2x³-2x² +8  =( x ²– 4x + 4)( x² + 2 x + 2)
                                     =(  x – 2 ) ² {   ( x + 1 ) ² + 1 }
(  x – 2 ) ² is always positive
( x + 1 ) ² + 1 is always positive too.
So (X^4 ) -2x³-2x² +8  cannot be negative

another rather tricky way of doing it is:

y=x^4 + 2x^3 -2x^2 +8
{\frac{\delta y}{\delta x}}=4x^3 -6x^2 -4x
{\frac{\delta y}{\delta x}}=0 \Rightarrow 4x^3 -6x^2 -4x=0\Rightarrow x=-0.5,0,2
second derivative= 12x^2 -12x -4
putting values of x in second derivative:

-0.5 \rightarrow 5
0 \rightarrow -4
2 \rightarrow 20
 hence there is a min point at -0.5 and 2 and max at 0, putting these values of x gives values of min points (-0.5, 7.8) and (2, 0), therefore as none of y values are below x axis, f(x) is always positive!  :D

can u integrate
sin^3xcosx
please :'(

orry i missed this earlier sub u=sinx then du=cosxdx so dx=1/cosxdu so you integrate

sin^3xcosxdx=sin^3xcosx(1/cosxdu)=u^3du and the ans =1/4u^4=1/4sin^4x

crucio,
I like your method by calculus calculation.
I make the graph based on your calculation.
Please look at the attachment.
