If ( (x+3)^2=x^2+kx+9 ), what is the value of (k)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (6)

The identity for the square of a sum is \((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\). In this question, \(a=x\) and \(b=3\). The middle term is produced by twice the product of the two parts, so it is \(2\times x\times3=6x\). The constant term is the square of 3, which is 9.

Therefore, expanding the left side gives \((x+3)^2=x^2+6x+9\). Comparing this with the given expression \(x^2+kx+9\), the coefficients of the corresponding \(x\)-terms must be equal. Hence \(k=6\), so option B is correct. The value 3 is only the added number, not the coefficient of the middle term. The value 9 is the constant term, and 12 would result from an incorrect multiplication rather than the identity.
