$\sqrt{2 x ({(2 x)}^{2} + 12 x + 3^{2})}$

Check the middle term by multiplying $2 a b$ and compare this result with the middle term in the original expression.

$2 a b = 2 \cdot (2 x) \cdot 3$

Simplify.

$2 a b = 12 x$

Factor using the perfect square trinomial rule $a^{2} + 2 a b + b^{2} = {(a + b)}^{2}$ , where $a = 2 x$ and $b = 3$ .

$\sqrt{2 x {(2 x + 3)}^{2}}$

Rewrite $2 x {(2 x + 3)}^{2}$ as ${(2 x + 3)}^{2} \cdot (2 x)$ .
