Answer :

Both terms [tex]a^8b^4[/tex] and [tex]a^2b^2[/tex] contain some powers of a and b. So, we can factor the occurrences with the smallest exponent:

[tex]a^8b^4+a^2b^2 = a^2b^2(a^6b^2+1)[/tex]

The complete factored form of the polynomial [tex]a^{8}b^{4} +a^{2}b^{2}[/tex]  is  [tex]a^{2}b^{2} (a^{6}b^{2} + 1 )[/tex] .

What is a complete factored form?

A complete factored form of expression is the result expression of the polynomial which is expressed as the product of its smallest factor format. We always get a simplified expression of the polynomial in the complete factored form.

How to solve the given expression in factored form?

The given expression is -  [tex]a^{8}b^{4} +a^{2}b^{2}[/tex]

Taking the term [tex]a^{2}b^{2}[/tex]  common to express the polynomial in factored form,

[tex]a^{8}b^{4} +a^{2}b^{2}[/tex]  =  [tex]a^{2}b^{2} (a^{6}b^{2} + 1 )[/tex]

Thus, the complete factored form of the polynomial [tex]a^{8}b^{4} +a^{2}b^{2}[/tex]  is  [tex]a^{2}b^{2} (a^{6}b^{2} + 1 )[/tex] .
