If a model is made for a square of side (3a-2b), which final expansion is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9a^2-12ab+4b^2

The direct answer is B. Use the identity (p-q)^2=p^2-2pq+q^2 with p=3a and q=2b. The first square is (3a)^2=9a^2. The two mixed rectangles together have area 2(3a)(2b)=12ab, and because this is a difference, that middle part is subtracted. The small corner square has area (2b)^2=4b^2 and is added. Therefore (3a-2b)^2=9a^2-12ab+4b^2. A has the wrong middle coefficient because it forgets one part of the factor 2. C squares the terms incorrectly. D has a positive middle term, which belongs to a sum such as (3a+2b)^2, not a difference. A useful warning is that the sign of the middle term follows the sign between the two terms, while its coefficient comes from doubling their product.
