A) $x ^ { 2 } - 24 x + 144$
B) $x ^ { 2 } + 144$
C) $144 x ^ { 2 } - 24 x + 144$
D) $x + 144$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct expansion of $(x - 12)^2$ is $x^2 - 24x + 144$, which is achieved by squaring the first term ($x^2$), twice the product of the two terms ($-24x$), and the square of the second term ($144$).
