Assuming you mean (9/25)x^2+(6/15)x+1/9, with the parentheses added for clarity,

First, use your fraction skills to bring to terms of denominator 225.

Do the arithmetic steps...

%289x%2B5%29%5E2%2F15%5E2

OR

%28%289x%2B5%29%2F%2815%29%29%5E2

Factor: 9/25x^2 + 6/15x + 1/9
%289%2F25%29x%5E2+%2B+%282%2F5%29x+%2B+1%2F9 ------- Reducing matrix%281%2C3%2C+6%2F15%2C+to%2C+2%2F5%29 

From here you can see that this is a DOTS (Difference of Two Squares)

We then get: 

That's all!! Nothing too COMPLEX!
