In a visual model, the rectangle sides are (x+a) and (x−a). What will be the effect of the middle linear parts?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: They cancel to zero

Direct answer: Option B, they cancel to zero. Multiply the side expressions: (x+a)(x−a)=x·x−ax+ax−a²=x²−a². In the visual rectangle, one middle strip has area ax and the other has area −ax. These are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, so their sum is ax+(−ax)=0. Option A is wrong because adding two positive ax terms would apply to (x+a)(x+a), not to a sum-and-difference product. Option B is correct. Option C is wrong because a² comes from the product of the two a-parts and is a final constant term, not the combined linear strips. Option D is wrong because the product is x²−a², not x²+a². Memory cue: (x+a)(x−a) has no middle term—the plus and minus cross-products cancel.
