you have the correct answer which is -x^2 - 2x - 3

Answer 2

It is correct.

Explanation:

You have done this correctly. Just in case it was a very lucky guess

- (x + 1)^2 - 2 expand the brackets

- (x^2 + 2x + 1) - 2 remove the brackets using the distributive property

- x^2 - 2x - 1 - 2 combine like terms

- x^2 - 2x - 3
