An area model has to read \(81-18x+x^2\) as a square. Which is the correct side?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(9-x\)

Answer: B, \(9-x\). First rearrange the terms into descending powers of \(x\): \(81-18x+x^2=x^2-18x+81\). Compare this with \((u-v)^2=u^2-2uv+v^2\). Here \(u=x\) and \(v=9\), because \(2\cdot x\cdot9=18x\) and \(9^2=81\). Hence the expression is \((x-9)^2\). A square has the same value when its side is negated, so \((x-9)^2=(9-x)^2\); the listed suitable side is \(9-x\). A would produce a positive middle term, \(x^2+18x+81\). C and D do not square to the given trinomial. Memory cue: for a negative middle term, use the difference pattern and take half of 18 for the constant side.
