For this case we have the following polynomial:
x ^ 2 + 6x
The missing value to complete the square is given by:
x ^ 2 + 6x + (6/2) ^ 2
Rewriting we have:
x ^ 2 + 6x + (3) ^ 2
x ^ 2 + 6x + 9
Then, completing the square we have:
(x + 3) ^ 2
Answer:
the missing constant term in the perfect square is:
9
