A rectangle model shows (x+2)(x−2). What is its simplified area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x²−4

Direct answer: B, x²−4. The factors x+2 and x−2 are conjugates: they have the same first term and opposite second terms. Apply (a+b)(a−b)=a²−b² with a=x and b=2. This gives x²−2²=x²−4. Direct multiplication confirms it: x·x+x(−2)+2x+2(−2)=x²−2x+2x−4=x²−4. The middle terms cancel because −2x and +2x are opposites. A, x²+4, has the wrong sign for the constant product 2(−2), which is −4. C, x²−2x, keeps only one middle product and omits the constant term. D, x²+2x, also leaves an unjustified middle term and omits −4. Therefore B is the only complete simplification. Memory cue: multiplying conjugate binomials gives a difference of squares and no middle term.
