Answer:

( t + 6 ) ( t − 6 )

Explanation:

t 2 − 36

since 36 is a square number, you'll have to unsquare it to get

t 2 −
6^(2)

Since both terms are perfect squares, factor using the difference of squares formula, a 2 − b 2 = ( a + b )( a − b ) where a = t and b = 6

You should get : ( t + 6 ) ( t − 6 ) !

Hope this helped :)))
