Fill in the Blank

As a quality assurance technician in a manufacturing plant, you are verifying the stress-testing formulas for a new dual-component bracket. The stress load formula simplifies to the expression 2p3+54q3{}2p^3 + 54q^3. To input this into the testing software, you must factor it completely. After factoring out the greatest common factor, you get 2(p3+27q3){}2(p^3 + 27q^3). Recalling the sum of cubes formula, you structure the final factored form as 2(p+3q)(p2?+9q2){}2(p + 3q)(p^2 - ? + 9q^2). What specific mathematical term replaces the question mark (?) to complete the factorization? (Write your answer using only numbers and letters without spaces, such as 7xy).
