    multiply by 2x(x²+1) over itself

    2x + 12(x²+1) + 2x(x²+1) – 8x²

    ___________________________

    x²(x²+1) + 2x(x²+1) + (x²+1)

    2x + 12(x²+1) + 2x(x²+1) – 8x²

    ___________________________

    (x²+1)(x²+2x+1)

    2x + 12x² + 12 + 2x³ + 2x – 8x²

    ____________________________

    (x²+1)(x²+2x+1)

    2x³ + 4x² + 4x + 12

    _________________

    (x+1)²(x²+1)
