alleryWhich factored form equals 6x^5 + 3x^2?
A3x^2(2x^3 + 1)
B3x^2(2x^5 + 1)
C3x^2(2x^2 + 1)
D6x^2(x^3 + 1)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 3x^2(2x^3 + 1)
1. The common factor of 6x^5 and 3x^2 is 3x^2.
2. Dividing gives 6x^5 / 3x^2 = 2x^3 and 3x^2 / 3x^2 = 1, so the form is 3x^2(2x^3 + 1).
3. The other choices expand to different expressions, such as 6x^7 + 3x^2.
