Q. For y=0, which of the following expressions is equivalent to 35y2+21y56y2−28y ?Choose 1 answer:(A) 5y−38y−4(B) 5y+3y8y−4y(C) 5y+218y−28(D) 5y+38y−4
Factor out common terms: Factor out the common terms in the numerator and the denominator.The numerator 56y2−28y can be factored by taking out the common factor of 28y, which gives us 28y(2y−1).The denominator 35y2+21y can be factored by taking out the common factor of 7y, which gives us 7y(5y+3).So, the expression becomes 7y(5y+3)28y(2y−1).
Simplify by canceling out: Simplify the expression by canceling out the common terms.The term 28y in the numerator and 7y in the denominator can be simplified because 7y28y=4.The expression now is 5y+34(2y−1).
Distribute the 4: Distribute the 4 in the numerator.Multiplying 4 by each term in the parentheses gives us 8y−4.The expression now is 5y+38y−4.
Match with answer choices: Match the simplified expression with the given answer choices.The expression (8y−4)/(5y+3) matches with choice (D).
