Answer

$81x^4-1$

Work Step by Step

First we apply the Sum and Difference of Two Terms for the second and the third factor: $(9x^2+1)[(3x+1)(3x-1)]$ $=(9x^2+1)[(3x)^2-1^2]$ $=(9x^2+1)(9x^2-1).$ Then we apply the Sum and Difference of Two Terms once again: $(9x^2+1)(9x^2-1)$ $=(9x^2)^2-1^2$ $=81x^4-1.$
