A rectangle has sides (2x+1) and (2x-1). What area is obtained from the visual model?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x^2-1

The direct answer is D. The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, so calculate (2x+1)(2x-1). These are conjugate binomials: they have the same first term and opposite signs in the second term. The identity (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2 applies with a=2x and b=1. Thus the area is (2x)^2-1^2=4x^2-1. If expanded directly, the products are 4x^2-2x+2x-1; the middle terms cancel, again giving 4x^2-1. A incorrectly adds the squares instead of taking their difference. B is the expansion of (2x+1)^2, not the product of the two different sides. C is the expansion of (2x-1)^2, so it also squares only one binomial. D correctly represents the rectangle. Memory cue: same terms with opposite signs give a difference of squares, and the cross terms cancel.
