If an area model of (x - 7)^2 is made, what will be the expansion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x^2 - 14x + 49

The correct answer is A: x^2 - 14x + 49. Use the square-of-a-difference identity (a-b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2. Here a = x and b = 7, so (x-7)^2 = x^2 - 2(x)(7) + 7^2 = x^2 - 14x + 49. In an area model, the x^2 and 49 corner squares are positive areas, while the two mixed regions contribute a negative middle term because the expression is a difference. Option A includes all three required parts. Option B has a positive middle term and would be the expansion of (x+7)^2. Option C omits the middle term completely and is the difference-of-squares expression x^2 - 49, not a square of a difference. Option D uses only 7x instead of twice 7x. Memory cue: for (a-b)^2, keep the last term positive but make the middle term negative and double the product.
