${(v^{2} + 8 d^{2})}^{2}$ $(v^2+8d^2)^2$

Explanation:

$v^{4} + 16 v^{2} d^{2} + 64 d^{4}$ $v^4+16v^2d^2+64d^4$

= ${(v^{2} + 8 d^{2})}^{2}$ $(v^2+8d^2)^2$

${(v^{2} + 8 d^{2})}^{2}$ $(v^2+8d^2)^2$

Explanation:

We can recognize that the expression is in the form of the expansion of ${(a + b)}^{2}$ $(a+b)^2$ :
${(a + b)}^{2} = a^{2} + 2 a b + b^{2}$ $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

We can therefor tell that $a^{2} = v^{4}$ $a^2=v^4$ and $b^{2} = 64 d^{4}$ $b^2=64d^4$ . Taking the square root of both of these equations, we get:
$a = v^{2}$ $a=v^2$ , $b = 8 d^{2}$ $b=8d^2$ (Note that we're only interested in the positive square root, since the middle coefficient is positive).

This is all we need to know to be able to factor like so:
$v^{4} + 16 v^{2} d^{2} + 64 d^{4} = {(v^{2} + 8 d^{2})}^{2}$ $v^4+16v^2d^2+64d^4=(v^2+8d^2)^2$
