SOLUTION
We want to factor the polynomial
[tex]s^2+12s+32[/tex]To do this we look for two values with s such that when we multiply them, we get 32 and when we add then we get the middle item 12s.
These are 8s and 4s because
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8s+4s=12s \\ 8s\times4s=32s^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we replace 8s and 4s with the middle item and factorize, we have
[tex]\begin{gathered} s^2+12s+32 \\ s^2+8s+4s+32 \\ s(s+8)+4(s+8) \\ (s+4)(s+8) \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the answer is
(s + 4) (s + 8)
