Answer:
(3x+1)(3x+1) or (3x+1)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that we have to split the middle term that is the term [constant×X] in such a way that the new constant have product equal to product of coefficient of a and the last term that is constant.
=>if question is of form ax^2+bx+c
then split bx into-[dx + ex] such that d×e=a×c
So let's apply it on 9x^2+6x+1
here we have to break 6 so that the product comes 9×1 that is 9.
Let's find factors of 9 which add upto 6.
We find 9=3×3
and,3+3=6
=> 9x^2+6x+1 = 9x^2+3x+3x+1
=>take two terms and remove some common part from them
=>9x^2 is 3x × 3x
so take 3x common from 9x^2+3x
=>3x(3x+1)+3x+1
now take 1 common from 3x+1 which was left.
=>3x(3x+1)+1(3x+1)
now two terms have 3x+1 take this common
=>(3x+1)(3x+1) or (3x+1)^2
Hence factorised.
If you need the values of x that is the x where 9x^2+6x+1 is equal to zero.
Then (3x+1)(3x+1)=0
=>(3x+1)^2=0
=>3x+1=0
=>3x=(-1)
=>x=(-1)/3
