Question

What is the coefficient of x in the division (18x^3 + 12x^2 – 3x) / 6x^2?

A) 3
B) 2
C) -0.5
D) -3

Answer 1

If you would like to know the coefficient of x, you can calculate this using the following steps:

(18x^3 + 12x^2 – 3x) / (6x^2) = (6x^2 + 4x - 1) / (2x) = 3x + 2 -1/(2x)

The correct result would be A) 3.
