Answer

\[\left( {{x}^{n}}+9 \right)\left( {{x}^{n}}+11 \right)\].

Work Step by Step

Put \[{{x}^{n}}=p\]then the equation becomes \[\begin{align} & {{p}^{2}}+20p+99={{p}^{2}}+9p+11p+99 \\ & =p\left( p+9 \right)+11\left( p+9 \right) \\ & =\left( p+9 \right)\left( p+11 \right) \end{align}\] So, \[\begin{align} & p={{x}^{n}} \\ & \left( {{x}^{n}}+9 \right)\left( {{x}^{n}}+11 \right) \\ \end{align}\] The given Polynomial can be factored as\[\left( {{x}^{n}}+9 \right)\left( {{x}^{n}}+11 \right)\].
