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.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
p^2-8p-9
factor out the trinomial
(p-9)(p+1)
Therefore, she's incorrect. Because (p-1)(p+9)=p^2-p+9p-9=p^2+8p-9 and that's different from p^2-8p-9.
