s^2+16 is prime, you can not factor any further. This is a question meant to trap you into a common mistake - you can easily factor a difference of squares, students commonly try to do the same thing with a sum of squares.

s^2 + 16 = s^2 + 4^2
does that help?

(x+1)(x+16)

s^2 + 16 is already factored over the integers.

If complex numbers are allowed we would have (s+4i)(s-4i).

s^2 + 16
= s^2 - (-16)
= s^2 - (-1 * 16)
= s^2 - (i^2 * 4^2)
= s^2 - (4i)^2
= (s + 4i)(s - 4i)

s^2+16=(s+4i)(s-4i)

s² + 16 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to factor
   as²+bs+c=0
where
   a=1
   b=0
   c=16

s = [-b ± √(b²-4ac)] / (2a)
   = [-(0) ± √((0)² - 4(1)(16))] / (2·1)
   = [0 ± √(-64)] / 2
   = [0 ± √64√(-1)] / 2
   = [0 ± 8i] / 2
   ≅ 0 ± 4i
   = -4i, 4i

s² + 16 = (s + 4i)(s - 4i)
