Sure, let's go through the options and see which ones are equivalent to (8x² + 1) + 3x².

A) 6x² + ²+ 3x² +
B) 6x² +1+3x² +
C) 9x² +11/
D) 9x² +/+ 1/2
E) 9x² + 2
F) 9x² + 1

To simplify the expression (8x² + 1) + 3x², we can combine like terms.

The coefficient of x² in the first term is 8, and the coefficient of x² in the second term is 3. When we add them together, we get 11x².

The constant term in the first term is 1, and there is no constant term in the second term. So the constant term remains 1.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 11x² + 1.

Looking at the options, the equivalent expression is:

F) 9x² + 1

So the correct answer is F) 9x² + 1.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
