It may be beneficial to notice that both "end terms" are perfect squares.
9t%5E2++=+%283t%29%5E2
4+=+2%5E2
So I will venture a guess and say that this function simplifies to (3t+2)^2. Let's foil and make sure.
(3t+2)(3t+2) = 9t^2 + 6t + 6t +4 = 9t^2 +12t +4. Check.
%283t%2B2%29%5E2 it is.

i'm guessing that you want this factored?

9t^2+12t+4
(3t + 2)(3t + 2)
(3t + 2)^2
