Digital PSAT Math Practice Question 133: Answer and Explanation
Question: 133
Which of the following is equivalent to 
for x not equal to -2?
- A. 3x2 - 4x + 3
- B. 3x2 + 8x + 11
- C. x2 - 3x + 3
- D. 3x2 + 4x + 12
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
(A) Let's use polynomial long division to divide the numerator by the denominator:
Therefore, (3x3 + 2x2 - 5x + 6) รท (x + 2) = 3x2 - 4x + 3, which is choice (A).
You could also use synthetic division to solve this problem. Alternatively, if you were unsure of how to divide polynomials, you could have multiplied the answer choices by x + 2 to see which choice equaled the numerator.
