Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{x^2-6x+9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex](x-3)^2\\\\\bold{METHOD\ 1}\\\\(x-3)^2=(x-3)(x-3)\qquad\text{use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\=(x)(x)+(x)(-3)+(-3)(x)+(-3)(-3)\\\\=x^2-3x-3x+9\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=x^2-6x+9\\\\\bold{METHOD\ 2}\\\\(x-3)^2\qquad\text{use}\ (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\\\\=x^2-2(x)(3)+3^2\\\\=x^2-6x+9[/tex]
