The expression given to us is:


9m^2-(6)/(5)m+c

If the above expression is a perfect square then the middle term will have to be 2 times the square root of the first term times the square root of the last term. Thus:


-(6)/(5)m=2* 3m* √(c)


\therefore √(c)=-(1)/(5)

Thus,
c=(1)/(25)

Thus, for 9m^2-(6/5)m+c to be a perfect square, the value of c must be equal to
(1)/(25) or 1/25
