Mike,
We clearly have homework questions here.
How are you ever going to learn factoring by posting questions for others to do?
First of all, do you know what the word FACTOR mean?
Anyway, let P^2 = any letter of choice.
I will let p^2 = x. Okay?
So, P^4+5P^2+6 becomes x^2 + x + 6.
Next factor the trinomial: x^2 + x + 6.
After factoring, we get: (x + 3) (x + 2).
Next: Replace x with p^2.
So, (x + 3) (x + 2) becomes (p^2 + 3) (p^2 + 2) as the final answer.

take p^2=T
then we have to factor this : T^2+5T+6
=(T+2)(T+3)
=(p^2+2)(p^2+3)

p⁴+ 5p² + 6
p⁴ + 3p² + 2p² + 6
p²(p² + 3) + 2(p² + 3)
(p² + 2)(p² + 3)

=p^4+3p^2+2p^2+6
=p^2[p^2+3]+2[p^2+3]
=[p^2+3][p^2+2]
