What is the expansion of the area of a square with side \((2u-1)\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(4u^2-4u+1\)

Correct answer: A, \(4u^2-4u+1\). The area of the square is \((2u-1)^2\). Use \((p-q)^2=p^2-2pq+q^2\), with \(p=2u\) and \(q=1\). Then \((2u)^2-2(2u)(1)+1^2=4u^2-4u+1\). In the visual model, the large square contributes \(4u^2\), two equal strips together contribute \(-4u\), and the small corner contributes \(+1\). Option B counts only a single \(-2u\) strip. Option C incorrectly squares the main term. Option D has the wrong positive sign and would match \((2u+1)^2\). Memory cue: the coefficient of the middle term is twice the product of the two parts, and a minus inside the bracket makes it negative.
