Answer:
x^2 - 6x + 9
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-3)^2
(x-3)(x-3)
x^2 -3x -3x + 9
x^2 - 6x + 9
^2 means (x - 3) times itself twice.
(x - 3)(x - 3) multiplying polynomials- Firsts, Outs, Inners, Lasts (FOIL)
Firsts (x* x) Outs (x*-3) Inners (-3 * x) Lasts (-3*-3)
xx -3x -3x +9 Combine like terms.
-3x -3x Adding/subtracting integers- same signs means you add
and keep the sign.
x^2 -6x + 9
