Hi there! The answer is B.
First we work out the parenthesis, which is easy because we can just remove them.
Now rearrange our expression (in order to collect terms later).
Next up is collecting the terms.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Many ways to do this in the details.
All start by writing three equations with three unknowns
<em>-56 = a(3²) + b(3) + c</em>
-56 = 9a + 3b + c 1)
<em>-16 = a(-1²) + b(-1) + c</em>
-16 = a - b + c 2)
<em>-51 = a(-2²) + b(-2) + c </em>
-51 = 4a - 2b + c 3)
subtract equation 2 from equation 1
-40 = 8a + 4b
--10 = 2a + b
b = -10 - 2a 4)
subtract equation 3 from equation 1
-5 = 5a + 5b
-1 = a + b 5)
substitute 4 into 5
-1 = a + (-10 - 2a)
-1 = - a - 10
a = - 9
substitute a into 4
b = -10 - 2(-9)
b = 8
substitute a and b into any of 1, 2, or 3
-51 = 4(-9) - 2(8) + c
-51 = -36 - 16 + c
c = 1
y = -9x² + 8x + 1
We can use a plotting calculator to confirm our result.
