Which model first changes (x^2-4xy+4y^2-z^2) into a smaller square and then into a difference?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x-2y)^2-z^2 / grouping

The correct answer is A: (x-2y)^2-z^2. First focus on the trinomial x^2-4xy+4y^2. It matches the pattern p^2-2pq+q^2=(p-q)^2, with p=x and q=2y. Therefore it becomes (x-2y)^2. The original expression then is (x-2y)^2-z^2, a difference of two squares. It may subsequently be factored as (x-2y-z)(x-2y+z), though the question asks for the intermediate model. Option A preserves the negative middle term -4xy. Option B would expand to x^2+4xy+4y^2-z^2, with the wrong sign. Option C would require terms involving xz and yz and does not reproduce the original expression. Option D expands to x^2-2xz+z^2-4y^2, which has different variables and terms. Memory cue: a negative middle term in a perfect-square trinomial gives (first term minus second term)^2.
