Answer:

(3x^2+y^2+2xy)(3x^2+y^2-2xy)

Explanation:

9x^4+2x^2y^2+y^4

(3x^2+y^2+2xy)(3x^2+y^2-2xy)

Both terms are perfect squares. So you will factor using the difference of squares formula. a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

Take what the square is for every term.

9x^4. What squared is 9? 3 and take half of the power or 2. That's how you get the 3x^2

2x^2y^2 is the same way. 2xy and 2xy

y^4 is y but dived he powers by 2 to get y^2.

Take one of each and but in () like I have above.
