Which visual model correctly represents 9x^2 - 1?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Remove a square of side 1 from a square of side 3x

The correct answer is A. Rewrite both terms as squares: 9x^2 = (3x)^2 and 1 = 1^2. Therefore 9x^2 - 1 is the difference between the areas of a square with side 3x and a square with side 1. The correct visual model removes the 1-by-1 square from the larger 3x-by-3x square. Algebraically, this is (3x)^2 - 1^2 = (3x - 1)(3x + 1). Option B uses a square with side 9x, whose area would be 81x^2, not 9x^2. Option C represents (3x + 1)^2, which includes positive cross terms and is not a difference. Option D represents (3x - 1)^2, which also contains a square term plus a middle term, not 9x^2 - 1. Memory cue: identify the side by taking the square root of each square term; the side of 9x^2 is 3x, not 9x.
