In order to write this expression in standard form, we need to use the order of operations. So, we will first expand (x - 2)^2 by FOILING:

(x - 2)(x - 2) ----->

x^2 - 2x - 2x + 4 ----->

x^2 - 4x + 4

Next, we need to distribute the 3/2 to x^2 - 4x + 4, by multiplying these terms together:

----->

Now, we just need to add the -1 to this quadratic:

which is our answer
