melany was asked to creat an equivalent form of the rational expresion -3x^2-15x-18/x+3 which of the following is a correct equivalent form

1 answer

To find an equivalent form of the rational expression -3x^2-15x-18/x+3, we can factor the numerator.

The numerator -3x^2-15x-18 can be factored as -3(x^2+5x+6), which further factors as -3(x+2)(x+3).

Therefore, the rational expression -3x^2-15x-18/x+3 is equivalent to (-3(x+2)(x+3))/(x+3).

Thus, the correct equivalent form of the rational expression is (-3(x+2))/(x+3).

Option B: (-3(x+2))/(x+3)
