Answer:

(x - 3) (x - 3) thus D.)

Explanation:

Factor the following:

x^2 - 6 x + 9

Hint: | Factor x^2 - 6 x + 9 by finding two numbers whose product is 9 and whose sum is -6.

The factors of 9 that sum to -6 are -3 and -3. So, x^2 - 6 x + 9 = (x - 3) (x - 3):

(x - 3) (x - 3)

Hint: | Combine products of like terms.

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

Answer: (x - 3)^2
