-$$9 m ^ { 2 } + 18 m + 9$$
A) $( 3 m - 2 ) ^ { 2 }$
B) $( 3 m + 2 ) ^ { 2 }$
C) $9 ( \mathrm {~m} + 1 ) ^ { 2 }$
D) $9 ( m - 1 ) ^ { 2 }$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trinomial can be factored as a perfect square trinomial. Factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) of 9, we get $9(m^2 + 2m + 1)$, which simplifies to $9(m + 1)^2$, matching option C.
