In the model of a square with side \(z-1\), which term remains positive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(1\)

The direct answer is option D. The area of the square is \((z-1)^2\). Applying \((a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\), with \(a=z\) and \(b=1\), gives \(z^2-2z+1\). The square term \(z^2\) is positive, the mixed term is \(-2z\), and the constant square \(1^2\\) is positive. Among the listed choices, the positive term asked for is \(1\). Option A is negative because it is the middle term. Option B incorrectly changes the sign of \(z^2\); squaring does not make this term negative. Option C is the negative of the constant square, while the constant contribution is positive. Memory cue: in \((z-1)^2\), the signs are plus, minus, plus.
