Which expansion is correct in the area model of a square with side (y−3)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: y²−6y+9

The direct answer is C: y²−6y+9. Apply the identity (a−b)²=a²−2ab+b² with a=y and b=3. Thus (y−3)²=y²−2(y)(3)+3²=y²−6y+9. In a visual or rearranged model, start with the y by y square, remove two strips of area 3y each, and account for the 3 by 3 corner square, which contributes 9. Option A has a positive middle term and therefore matches (y+3)², not (y−3)². Option B has the correct sign but forgets that two cross-regions together make 6y. Option C has all terms correct. Option D incorrectly uses 9y as the middle term and 6 as the constant. Memory cue: for a difference square, the first and last terms are positive, but the middle term is negative: a²−2ab+b².
