Which term will not appear in ( (x+9)(x-9) )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (18x)

The direct answer is B: the term \\(18x\\) does not appear. Multiply using the difference-of-squares identity \\( (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\\). Here, \\(a=x\\) and \\(b=9\\), so \\( (x+9)(x-9)=x^2-9^2=x^2-81\\). If expanded directly, the terms are \\(x^2-9x+9x-81\\); the middle terms cancel because \\(-9x+9x=0\\). Option A, \\(x^2\\), does appear. Option B, \\(18x\\), does not appear, so it is correct. Option C, \\(-81\\), appears as the constant term. Option D, \\(x^2-81\\), is the complete simplified result. A common mistake is to add the middle terms without noticing their opposite signs. Exam cue: conjugate brackets with opposite signs produce no middle term.
