In a square model, the outer side is (x+8). What will be the last term in the expansion of the area?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 64

The direct answer is D, 64. A square whose side is x+8 has area (x+8)². Use the identity (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b², with a=x and b=8. The expansion is x²+2(x)(8)+8²=x²+16x+64. The last term is therefore 64, because it comes from squaring the constant part 8. Option A, 8x, is only a product involving x and is not the final constant term. Option B, 16x, is the middle term produced by the two equal cross-products x·8 and 8·x. Option C, x², is the first term, obtained by squaring x. Option D is correct because 8²=64. In an area model, the two side regions give the middle contribution and the small constant square gives the last term. Memory cue: in (variable+number)², the final term is the number squared.
