We don't provide answers or solutions, you need to show your own working and explain why you think your teacher is wrong.
 
I agree with your teacher and I disagree with your attitude.

"I need to prove my teacher wrong." Really, how about trying:

"How am I doing this wrong? What do I need to do to fix my mistake?"
