Question

Which of the following represents the factorization of the trinomial below?
x2 - 6x +9​

Answer 1

For this case we must factor the following expression:

`x ^ 2-6x + 9`

We must find two numbers that, when multiplied, result in 9 and when added, result in -6.

These numbers are -3 and -3.

`-3-3 = -6\\-3 * -3 = + 9`

Then, the factored expression is of the form:

`(x-3) (x-3) = (x-3) ^ 2`

Thus, the correct option is option C.
