Question

Which polynomial represents the area of the shaded region with the fewest terms?​

Answer 1

Answer:

14x-85

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the shaded region is

$(x + 6)(x - 6) - {(x - 7)}^{2}$

which if you use the identities to expand it gives you

${x}^{2} - 36 - {x}^{2} + 14x - 49$

This then reduces to be

$14x - 85$
