The conjugate of a binomial expression is formed by changing the sign between the two terms. In this case, you have the binomial \( x^2 - \sqrt{9} \).

To find the conjugate, we change the sign in front of the second term:

The conjugate is \( x^2 + \sqrt{9} \).

Since \( \sqrt{9} = 3 \), the conjugate can also be expressed as \( x^2 + 3 \).

However, if we refer specifically to the options you provided, it seems there was a typographical error in the notation for \(\sqrt{9}\). For clarity:

- The binomial given is \( x^2 - 3 \) (since \(\sqrt{9} = 3\)).
- The conjugate would therefore be \( x^2 + 3 \).

Unfortunately, none of the responses in your list correctly match \( x^2 + 3\). If you are looking for the correct term based on the information provided, the conjugate is \( x^2 + \sqrt{9} = x^2 + 3\).
