Answer:

y (x² + 1) (x² - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factorization:

   Take 'y' from each term.

x⁴y - 4x²y - 5y = y[x⁴ - 4x² - 5]

Now factorize x⁴ - 4x² - 5.

            Sum = -4

        Product = -5

        Factors =  -5 , 1  

When we add (-5) + 1, it gives (-4) and when we multiply (-5)*1, gives (-5).

x⁴ - 4x² - 5 = x⁴ + x² - 5x² - 5

                 = x²(x² + 1)  -5(x² + 1)

                 = (x²+ 1) (x² - 5)

x⁴y - 4x²y - 5y = y (x² + 1) (x² - 5)
