Question

What is the quotient of (x - 1)/(7x² – 3x - 9) ?

a) (7x² - 19)/(x - 1)
b) (7x² - 5)/(x - 1)
c) (7x² - 17)/(x - 1)
d) (7x² + 13)/(x - 1)

Answer 1

The given options do not represent the correct quotient of the expression (x - 1)/(7x² – 3x - 9). The quotient is simply this expression, and it cannot be simplified further without additional information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to find the quotient of a rational expression. The expressions provided seem to be unrelated to the problem, so they can be ignored. The quotient of the given expressions is simply the division of the numerator (x-1) by the denominator (7x²– 3x - 9). This cannot be further simplified without additional information or methods such as polynomial division, which isn't applicable here since the numerator isn't a higher degree polynomial than the denominator. None of the provided options (a, b, c, and d) are the result of a quotient operation on the given expression, so they all appear to be incorrect
