x^2 + 6x + 9 = 0
left-hand side is a perfect square trinomial in x:
x^2 + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)^2 = 0
(x + 3)(x + 3) = 0 ==> x + 3 = 0
x = -3 (i.e. x = -3 is a double/repeated root of the original quadratic equation)

once you amplify (a+b)^2 you get a^2+2ab+b^2 the answer of a quadratic ax^2+bx+c=0 is given by utilising x=(-b+/-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a here fixing this in accordance to the above formula we've : x= (-6+/-sqrt(36-36))/2 x=(-6)/2=-3 because of the fact the discriminant (b^2-4ac)=0 it ability that the equation has 2 same roots i.e here x=-3 two times. because of the fact a quadratic could desire to have 2 roots the respond is (x+3)^2=0 or x=-3 The 9 you're asking approximately has been broken up into 3's yet in any different case to envision that's to end the sq. of x^2+6x+9=0 x+a million/2 the different term squared + even if is generated which you do away with here (x+3)^2 yet there isn't something generated so it quite is a suitable sq.

This is a perfect square
(x+3)^2 = 0
so roots are -3 , -3 or double root-3
