Please thank if it helps you
Answer:
the quadratic:
9 X square + 18 x plus 8
is in the form:
as square +bx +c
with a=9,b= 18 and c = 8
this has discriminant ∆ given by the formula:
∆=b square- 4 ac= 18 square - 4(9)(8) = 324-288=36=6 square
since this is positive and a perfect square, quadric will factor with integer coefficients.
we can find the same factorisation by completing the square:
note that 9 x square=(3x) square and 18 x = 2(3x)(3).
hence we find:
9 x square + 18 x + 8 = (3x) square+ 2 (3x)(3)+3 square -1
= (3x+3) square -1 square
= [(3x+3)-1] [(3x+3)+1]
= (3x+2)(3x+4)
