C. x³ - x²

In word problems, there terms which indicate the mathematical operation that needs to be performed.

difference = refers to the answer in subtraction
triple a number or double a number refers to the number of times a number is multiplied by itself.

in triple a number = a number is multiplied by itself three times.
in double a number = a number is multiplied by itself two times.

It would initially look like this: (x * x * x) - (x * x); to simplify the expression, a number to be multiplied is written down and the number of times it will multiply by itself is noted on the upper right side of the number when we look at it.

Thus: x³ - x² is the correct expression that best describes the word problem above.

The verified answer is incorrect. I had this question on USA Test Prep just now, and the correct answer to the question is 3x - 2x.

1. Factor the expression over the complex numbers.

1. (x² + 24) factors as the difference of two squares (x² - (-24)) where -24 is the square of the complex number i√24 = 2i√6. The factoring is
(x - 2i√6)(x + 2i√6)

2. The square of half the coefficient of the x-term needs to be added: 4.5² = 20.25
This number goes in both boxes.

3. This is the square of (y² +20), so the factorization is similar to that for problem 1.
y⁴ + 40y² + 400 = (y² + 20)² = (y -2i√5)²(y +2i√5)²
