36m%5E6%2B12m%5E4%2Bm%5E2.common term m%5E2
m%5E2%2836m%5E4%2B12m%5E2%2B1%29...write 12m%5E2 as 6m%5E2+%2B+6m%5E2
m%5E2%2836m%5E4%2B6m%5E2+%2B+6m%5E2+%2B1%29
m%5E2%28%2836m%5E4%2B6m%5E2%29+%2B+%286m%5E2+%2B1%29%29
m%5E2%286m%5E2%286m%5E2%2B+1%29+%2B+%286m%5E2+%2B1%29%29
m%5E2%28%286m%5E2%2B+1%29++%286m%5E2+%2B1%29%29.....................%286m%5E2+%2B1%29 cannot be factored, so this is
your answer:
m%5E2%28%286m%5E2%2B+1%29++%286m%5E2+%2B1%29%29
