Mathematical Justification in Technical Documentation

In a technical manual for an engineering firm, you are tasked with documenting the simplification of the load-bearing formula 6x2+966x^2 + 96. After extracting the greatest common factor of 6 to arrive at the expression 6(x2+16)6(x^2 + 16), you must provide a brief justification for why the process stops there. State the specific mathematical name for the binomial (x2+16)(x^2 + 16) and the rule that explains why it cannot be factored further into real binomials.
