x² + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)(x + 3)

Explanation:

It is given a quadratic equation

x² + 6x + 9

To find the factors of given expression

By using middle term splitting

Let f(x) = x² + 6x + 9

= x² + 3x + 3x + 9

= x(x + 3) + 3(x + 3)

= (x + 3)(x + 3)

Therefore the factors of x² + 6x + 9

(x + 3)(x + 3)
