When you factor you find that it =
.
To check, multiply through:
=
.
We observe that:
is equivalent to:
.
So, equals:
.
Note: I had to assume the original equation is as I wrote it, which has a in the middle, not .

(2x^2+9)^2=(2x^2+9)(2x^2+9)
use FOIL
first
2x^2*2x^2=4x^4 no,problem here
outer
2x^2*9
inner
9*2x^2
last
9*9=81 no problem here
add 2x^2*9and 9*2x^2
18x^2+18x^2=36x^2
so we have 4x^4+36x^2+81 not 36x
{2x^2+6x+9}^2 would be 4x^4+24x^3+72x^2+108x+81
neither work out to be 4x^4+36x+81
I suspect that you copied the original sqrt incorrectly ie sqrt(4x^4+36x+81)

Why does:
and not
Well, you can answer this question by squaring and see what you get. Let's do that just for fun!
Simplify.
Now we'll start with the original expression and factor the radicand:
Take the square root of the right side.
