Q. 3x2+4xy2Which of the following is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) x(3x+4y)(B) x(3x+4y2)(C) x2(3+4y)(D) x2(3+4y2)
Identify Common Factors: To find an equivalent expression, we need to look for common factors in each term of the given expression 3x2+4xy2.
Factor Out Common Factor: The first term is 3x2, which has a factor of x. The second term is 4xy2, which also has a factor of x. Therefore, x is a common factor in both terms.
Compare with Options: We can factor out the common x from both terms to get x(3x+4y2).
Compare with Options: We can factor out the common x from both terms to get x(3x+4y2).Now we compare the factored expression x(3x+4y2) with the given options to find the equivalent expression.
Compare with Options: We can factor out the common x from both terms to get x(3x+4y2).Now we compare the factored expression x(3x+4y2) with the given options to find the equivalent expression.Option (A) is x(3x+4y), which is not equivalent because it does not have the y2 term in the second part of the expression.
Compare with Options: We can factor out the common x from both terms to get x(3x+4y2).Now we compare the factored expression x(3x+4y2) with the given options to find the equivalent expression.Option (A) is x(3x+4y), which is not equivalent because it does not have the y2 term in the second part of the expression.Option (B) is x(3x+4y2), which is equivalent to our factored expression.
Compare with Options: We can factor out the common x from both terms to get x(3x+4y2).Now we compare the factored expression x(3x+4y2) with the given options to find the equivalent expression.Option (A) is x(3x+4y), which is not equivalent because it does not have the y2 term in the second part of the expression.Option (B) is x(3x+4y2), which is equivalent to our factored expression.Option (C) is x2(3+4y), which is not equivalent because it suggests that both terms originally had an x2 factor, which is not the case.
