Answer:

B

Explanation:

Given


(1)/((t-2)^2) = 6 +
(1)/((t-2)) ( multiply through by (t - 2)²

1 = 6(t - 2)² + t - 2 ← distribute parenthesis and simplify

1 = 6(t² - 4t + 4) + t - 2

1 = 6t² - 24t + 24 + t - 2

1 = 6t² - 23t + 22 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

6t² - 23t + 21 = 0 ← in standard form

(2t - 3)(3t - 7) = 0 → in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for t

2t - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2t = 3 ⇒ t =
(3)/(2) ← p

3t - 7 = 0 ⇒ 3t = 7 ⇒ t =
(7)/(3) ← q

Thus

p × q =
(3)/(2) ×
(7)/(3) =
(21)/(6) =
(7)/(2) → B
