Which option correctly gives the visual area of (x − 4)²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² − 8x + 16

The correct answer is A. Use the square-of-a-difference identity: (x − 4)² = x² − 2(x)(4) + 4². Calculating the terms gives x² − 8x + 16. In a visual model, the x² part is the large square, the two cross-parts together contribute −8x in the algebraic rearrangement, and the small square contributes 16. Option B is the expansion of (x + 4)², so its middle sign is wrong. Option C uses only one x-by-4 contribution instead of two. Option D is the difference of squares x² − 4², which is a different expression from (x − 4)². Memory cue: the square of a difference has a negative middle term but a positive final square.
