Advanced Math practice question
For x ≠ 0, which of the following is equivalent to (6x³ + 3x²)/(3x²)?
- A. 2x + 1Correct
- B. 2x
- C. 2x² + 1
- D. 3x + 1
Answer: A. 2x + 1
6x³/(3x²) = 2x and 3x²/(3x²) = 1.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 2x
- Drops the second term.
- C. 2x² + 1
- Subtracts the exponents incorrectly for the first term.
- D. 3x + 1
- Divides 6 by 2 instead of by 3.
