You can put this solution on YOUR website! 4t^2 + 4t + 1
Take the product of the first term (leading coefficient) and the last term (constant).
4 * 1 = 4
What are factors of four that sum to the middle term (linear term).
Answer: 2,2
4t^2 + 2t + 2t + 1
(4t^2 + 2t) + (2t + 1)
2t(2t + 1) + 1(2t + 1)
(2t + 1)(2t + 1)
(2t + 1)^2
