Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

The quadratic equation x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0 can be expressed in which of the following forms? (2020)
  • Step 1: Identify the quadratic equation given, which is x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0.
  • Step 2: Recognize that a perfect square trinomial has the form (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2.
  • Step 3: In the equation x^2 + 6x + 9, identify a = x and b = 3, since 2ab = 6x and b^2 = 9.
  • Step 4: Rewrite the equation as (x + 3)(x + 3) = 0, which is the same as (x + 3)^2 = 0.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the quadratic equation can be expressed as (x + 3)^2 = 0.
