Prove that for any postive integer $n$, the polynomial $$(X^2+2)^n+5(X^{2n-1}+10X^n+5)$$ is irreducible in $\mathbb Z[X]$.

I have try use Eisenstein's criterion and can't it

This is an immediate application of the Schönemann's Irreducibility Criterion. It also follows by reducing modulo $5$ twice.
