If (x^2-2kx+k^2) is made by a subtraction square model, what will be the side?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x-k)

The direct answer is A: each side is x-k. Start with the standard identity (x-k)^2 = x^2 - 2kx + k^2. In a visual square model, the large x by x square contributes x^2. Two strips of dimensions x by k are removed, so together they contribute -2kx. Removing both strips removes the small k by k corner twice, so that corner must be added back once; its area is k^2. Therefore the complete expression is exactly (x-k)^2, and the side of the square is x-k. Option A matches the square, the two negative strips, and the restored corner. Option B gives (x+k)^2 = x^2+2kx+k^2, so its middle sign is wrong. Option C gives 4x^2-4kx+k^2, not the given expression. Option D gives x^2-4kx+4k^2, so both the middle and final terms are wrong. Memory cue: a negative middle term means the quantity inside the square has a minus sign.
