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)
Factor Expression: We need to factor the expression 3x2+4xy2 to see if it matches any of the given options.
Identify Common Factors: First, we look for common factors in both terms. The term 3x2 has a factor of x, and the term 4xy2 also has a factor of x.
Factor Out Common Factor: We factor out the common x from both terms: x(3x)+x(4y2)=x(3x+4y2).
Compare with Options: Now we compare the factored expression x(3x+4y2) with the given options:(A) x(3x+4y) - This is not equivalent because the y term is not squared.(B) x(3x+4y2) - This is equivalent to our factored expression.(C) x2(3+4y) - This is not equivalent because the x term is squared in the second factor.(D) x2(3+4y2) - This is not equivalent because the x term is squared in the second factor.
Correct Answer: The correct answer is (B) x(3x+4y2), which is equivalent to the given expression 3x2+4xy2.
