Answer:


0 < x < 6

Explanation:

This question asks to solve an inequality which can be written as:


√(x^2-6x+9) < 3

Solve for x:


√(x^2-6x+9) < 3\\x^2-6x+9 < 9\\x^2-6x < 0\\x(x-6) < 0

From here we can deduce that the inequality is
0 when:


x = 0 or
x = 6

We can write the solution as:


0 < x < 6

\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}

Let's evaluate ~


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: \sqrt{ {x}^(2) - 6x + 9 }


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: \sqrt{ {x}^(2) - 3x - 3x+ 9 }


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: \sqrt{ {x}^{}(x - 3) - 3(x - 3) }


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: √( (x - 3)(x - 3) )


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: \sqrt{ (x - 3) {}^(2) }


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: { (x - 3) {}^{} }

Now, we have been given that value of x :


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \:x < 3

So, let's plug the value of x as 3 in the given expression ~


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \:3 - 3


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \:0

Therefore, we can conclude that :


\qquad \sf&nbsp; \dashrightarrow \: \sqrt{ {x}^(2) - 6x + 9 } < 0

Value of the expression should be less than 0
