Question

If r(×)=3×-1 and s(×)=2×+1 which exspession is equivalent to (r/s)(6)?

a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5

Answer 1

The expression (r/s)(6) is calculated by dividing r(6) by s(6). However, the resulting value does not match the given answer choices, indicating a possible typo in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the expression that is equivalent to (r/s)(6), where r(x) = 3x - 1 and s(x) = 2x + 1. To find (r/s)(6), we need to divide r(6) by s(6). We calculate r(6) as follows: r(6) = 3(6) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17. Then, we calculate s(6) as follows: s(6) = 2(6) + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13. Finally, we divide r(6) by s(6) which gives us 17/13 = 1.30769230769. Since the options are integers, we check for the nearest integer value which is 1. However, the provided answer choices do not include the number 1, which suggests there may be a typo or misunderstanding in the question. To proceed correctly, we need to confirm the exact question or adjust the calculation based on the given answer choices.
