ANSWER

0

EXPLANATION

The given expression is:


\sqrt{ {b}^(2) - 4ac}

We want to find the value of this expression when, a=1, b=-6 and c=9.

We substitute the given values into the expression to obtain:


\sqrt{ { (- 6)}^(2) - 4(1)(9)}

We evaluate to obtain:


√( 36- 36)

This simplifies to


√( 0) = 0

The correct answer is the 3rd option.
