Question

Which of the interpretations for the given expression is correct (x+4)² – 3

​

Answer 1

The difference of the square of x + 4 and 3

Explanation:

Option (2) and (3) can be eliminated because the question involves finding a difference.

Here,
`$ (x + 4)^2 $` is one term and
`$ 3 $` is considered to be another term. And we are finding the difference between them. So, it would be wrong to say difference of difference of the square of
`$ x $` and
`$ 4 - 3$` because it would mean
`$ x^2 - (4 - 3) $` which is completely different here.

So, option (4) is correct.
