Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Given: (x – 3)² = 0 ; write as: general form: "ax² + bx + c = 0"; a ≠ 0 .
<span>
Note: </span>(x – 3)² = (x – 3)(x – 3) = x² – 3x – 3x + 9 = x² – 6x + 9 ;
___________________________________________________
Rewrite: (x – 3)² = 0 ; →
as: x² – 6x + 9 = 0 ; which is our answer.
____________________________________________
→ x² – 6x + 9 = 0 ; is in "general form", or "standard equation format"; that is: " ax² + bx + c = 0 "; (a ≠ 0) ;
→ in which:
a = 1 (implied coefficient, since anything multiplied by "1" is that same value);
b = -6;
c = 9

4/10 is 2/5 or 0.4 in decimal form.
The answer to this question is i think a or b.
