Question

What is the equivalent form to the equation y = (1 - 1)2? Fill in the blanks below (pay attention to the signs in the equation). 2. +

Answer 1

x^2 - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the below equation;

`y=(x-1)^2`

The above can be rewritten as;

`y=(x-1)(x-1)_{}`

To expand the above, all we need to do is use all the terms in the 1st parentheses and multiply all the terms in the 2nd parentheses as shown below;

`\begin{gathered} y=x^2-x-x+1 \\ y=x^2-2x+1 \end{gathered}`
