To determine the value of [tex]\(\frac{3^2}{2^2}\)[/tex],
1. Calculate the value of [tex]\(3^2\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
3^2 = 3 \times 3 = 9
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the value of [tex]\(2^2\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
2^2 = 2 \times 2 = 4
\][/tex]
3. Form the fraction using the calculated values:
[tex]\[
\frac{3^2}{2^2} = \frac{9}{4}
\][/tex]
So, the value of [tex]\(\frac{3^2}{2^2}\)[/tex] is [tex]\(\frac{9}{4}\)[/tex].
The correct answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{\frac{9}{4}} \][/tex]
