Factor:
Notice that the first and last terms are perfect squares.
This suggests the possibility that the factors might be squared. Let's see!

To check this, we'll multiply theses factors to see if we get back the original trinomial: Using the FOIL method...
Simplify this to get and this is your original trinomial.
So the factors are:
