How can 800t2 -7200t+16400 be simplified to 400((5-t)2+(4-t)2)

First divide everything by 400
(800t^2 / 400) - (7200t / 400) + (16400/400)
=400 [2t^2-18t+41]
Might just have to work backwards from here. Since you can foil out 25-18t+t^2 and 16-8t+t^2 from the simplified 400((5-t)2+(4-t)2) ; you can do the following...
25-18t+t^2 = (5-t)(5-t) = (5-t)^2
16-8t+t^2 = (4-t)(4-t) = (4-t)^2
Put it all together and you have 400((5-t)2+(4-t)2)
(800t^2 / 400) - (7200t / 400) + (16400/400)
=400 [2t^2-18t+41]
