Question 1132320
using the distributive law, you would simplify this as follows:


(p - 11) * (p - 11) equals p * (p - 11) - 11 * (p - 11)


that equals p^2 - 11p - 11p + 121


combine like terms to get p^2 - 22p + 121


the expression (p - 11) * (p - 11) is equivalent to the expression p^2 - 22p + 121.


if you graph both those equations (by replacing p with x), you will find that both equations draw the same, identical graph.


the graph is a parabola that points down and faces up with the zero points on the graph at x = 11.


here's what it looks like.
