\[x^4+4x^3+12x^2+16x+16=x^2(x^2+4x+12+\frac{ 16 }{ x }+\frac{ 16 }{ x^2 })\]
\[=x^2\left\{ \left( x2+\frac{ 16 }{ x^2 } \right)+\left( 4x+\frac{ 16 }{ x } \right)+12 \right\} ...(1)\]
\[put~x+\frac{ 4 }{ x }=t\]
squaring
\[x^2+\frac{ 16 }{ x^2 }+8=t^2,x^2+\frac{ 16 }{ x^2 }=t^2-8\]
\[=x^2[(t^2-8)+4t+12]=x^2[t^2+4t+4]=x^2(t+2)^2\]
\[=x^2(x+\frac{ 4 }{ x }+2)^2=[x(x+\frac{ 4 }{ x }+2)]^2=(x^2+2x+4)^2\]
