Answer:

The expression that have the following quotient is:


  • (-4x^2+20x-25)/(-2x+5)

  • (-14x^2+35x)/(-7x)

  • (12x^2-58x+70)/(6x-14)

Explanation:

1)


(-4x^2+20x-25)/(-2x+5)

It could also be written as:


(-(5-2x)^2)/(5-2x)\\\\\\=-(5-2x)\\\\\\=2x-5

Hence, we get the quotient:


2x-5

Option: (1) is correct.

2)


(-14x^2+35x)/(-7x)

which is simplified as follows:


(-7x(2x-5))/(-7x)\\\\\\=2x-5

Option: (2) is correct.

3)


(12x^2-58x+70)/(6x-14)

which is simplified as follows:


=(2(2x-5)(3x-7))/(2(3x-7))\\\\\\=2x-5

Hence, option: (3) is correct.

4)


(6x^2-10x-4)/(3x+1)

On simplifying:


(2(3x+1)(x-2))/(3x+1)\\\\\\=2(x-2)\\\\\\=2x-4

Hence, option: (4) is incorrect.

5)


(18x-45)/(9x)

on simplifying:


(9(2x-5))/(9x)\\\\\\=(2x-5)/(x)

Hence, option: (4) is incorrect.
