Whose square is x² − 6x + 9?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x − 3)²

The direct answer is A: (x − 3)². Use the identity (x − r)² = x² − 2rx + r². The constant term 9 tells us that r can be 3, because 3² = 9. Since the middle coefficient is −6, we need −2r = −6, giving r = 3. Therefore (x − 3)² = x² − 6x + 9, exactly the given expression. Option B gives (x + 3)² = x² + 6x + 9, so its middle term has the wrong sign. Option C gives x² − 12x + 36, so both the middle and constant terms differ. Option D gives x² + 18x + 81, which also does not match. A quick memory cue is: halve the magnitude of the middle coefficient and keep its sign inside the bracket; −6 becomes −3.
