For this case, we must find the quotient of


(15x ^ 3 + 12x ^ 2-9x) divided by
3x, to verify if Tina was correct.

So:


\frac {15x ^ 3 + 12x ^ 2-9x} {3x} =\\\frac {15x ^ 3} {3x} + \frac {12x ^ 2} {3x} - \frac {9x} {3x} =\\5x ^ 2 + 4x-3

So, Tina was wrong, she had to divide by 3x.

Answer:

Option B
