Question

If A=1+r+7r^2 and B=1-r^2, find an expression that equals A+3B in standard form.

Answer 1

To find A+3B, we need to first find A and B. A = 1 + r + 7r^2 B = 1 - r^2 Now we can substitute these expressions into A+3B: A+3B = (1 + r + 7r^2) + 3(1 - r^2) Simplifying this expression, we get: A+3B = 1 + r + 7r^2 + 3 - 3r^2 A+3B = 4 + r + 4r^2 So the expression that equals A+3B in standard form is 4 + r + 4r^2.
