trinomial.
- $x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } x +$ ____

• A) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + \frac { 1 } { 9 } = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• B) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + \underline { 36 } = ( x + 6 ) ^ { 2 }\)
• C) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + \frac { 1 } { 6 } = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 3 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• D) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } x + \frac { 1 } { \underline { 36 } } = \left( x + \frac { 1 } { 6 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
