To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You have the following quadratic equation given in the problem above:


36a^(2) - 24a + 4

2. You must factor out the greatest common factor, which is:
4:


4(9a^(2) -6a+1)

3. It has the form of a Perfect square trinomial
a^(2) -2ab+b^(2) then, you can write it as
(a-b)^(2)
, where
a=3a; b=1.

4. Therefore, you have that the answer is:


4(3a-1)^(2)
