To create an equivalent form of the rational expression (27h^8−18h^5+12h)/(3h), we can divide each term in the numerator by the denominator 3h:
27h^8/(3h) - 18h^5/(3h) + 12h/(3h)
Simplifying each term gives us:
9h^(8-1) - 6h^(5-1) + 4h^(1-1)
Which simplifies further to:
9h^7 - 6h^4 + 4
Therefore, the correct equivalent form is 9h^7 - 6h^4 + 4.
