Answer

$\boxed{8t^2 + 2t = 2t(4t+1)}$

Steps

Step 1 ：The given expression is a polynomial $8t^2 + 2t$.

Step 2 ：To factorize it, we need to find the common factors of the terms in the polynomial.

Step 3 ：The terms are $8t^2$ and $2t$.

Step 4 ：The common factor here is $2t$.

Step 5 ：So, the factored form of the given expression is $2t(4t+1)$.

Step 6 ：$\boxed{8t^2 + 2t = 2t(4t+1)}$
