What will be the term containing (x^2) in ( (x+4)^3-(x-4)^3 )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (24x^2)

The direct answer is B, 24x^2. Use the cube identities or expand carefully. The x-squared terms come from the terms 3x^2(4) in \\((x+4)^3\\) and 3x^2(-4) in \\((x-4)^3\\). Since the second cube is subtracted, its x-squared contribution is also subtracted: \\(12x^2-(-12x^2)=24x^2\\). Equivalently, \\((x+a)^3-(x-a)^3=6ax^2+2a^3\\), and a=4 gives 24x^2+128. Option A, 12x^2, counts only one contribution. Option B is correct because both opposite middle contributions combine. Option C, 48x^2, doubles the correct result, and option D, 96x^2, is an even larger coefficient error. Only the x-squared term is requested, not the complete expression. Exam cue: in a cube difference with ±a, the x^2 coefficient is 6a.
