Question

Use the grouping symbols to interpret the following equation: x8=3(x+4)2 . Which expression in the equation represents a product?(1 point) Responses 2 2 3(x+4)2 Start Fraction 3 left parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis over 2 End Fraction x8 Start Fraction x over 8 End Fraction 3(x+4) 3 left parenthesis x plus 4 right parenthesis

Answer 1

In the equation \( x^8 = 3(x + 4)^2 \), the expression that represents a product is \( 3(x + 4)^2 \).

This is because it includes the multiplication of \( 3 \) by \( (x + 4)^2 \).

The other options like \( 2, , 3, , x^8, , \frac{x}{8}, , \frac{3(x + 4)}{2}, \) and \( 3(x + 4) \) do not represent a complete product in the same way.

So the correct response is: \( 3(x + 4)^2 \).
