Since I just realized that you meant x^2-2x+1, let me evaluate this step by step:
x^2-2x+1
((-3)^2)-(2(-3))+1
9-(-6)+1
9+6+1
16
Therefore, that would equal 16.
Factoring out the 1/2 (that is the coefficient of the variable) would require you to divide the equation by one half, which is the same as multiplying by two. After doing this, the answer can be expressed as:
1/2 (d+12)
A counterexample proves something wrong. To disprove "When it rains, it pours," you could give an example of a time when it rains and does not pour. What if it only rains a little? What if it rains frogs? How are you supposed to "pour" frogs? I dunno. This is sort of an open-ended question. I'd go with "It drizzles, but does not pour."
Answer:
it would be 17
