If (x + 4)² - (x - 4)² is transformed using the difference of squares, what will the area equal?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 16x

Answer: B, 16x. Apply the difference-of-squares identity A² - B² = (A + B)(A - B), taking A = x + 4 and B = x - 4. First calculate A + B = (x + 4) + (x - 4) = 2x. Next calculate A - B = (x + 4) - (x - 4) = 8; the second subtraction changes the sign of -4. Hence the product is 2x×8 = 16x. Option A forgets that the first factor is 2x rather than x. Options C and D incorrectly treat the expression as if it were a simple square expansion; they do not use the difference-of-squares structure. Memory cue: calculate the sum and difference separately, especially when the second bracket contains a minus sign.
