Question

Simplify completely the quantity 4 times x to the third power plus 5 times x to the 2nd power plus 3 times x all over x. (2 points)

Answer 1

We start with

`(4x^3+5x^2+3x)/(x)`

We can factor x at the numerator:

`(x(4x^2+5x+3))/(x)`

So, assuming
`x\\eq 0` (otherwise the expression would make no sense) we can simplify it:

`(x(4x^2+5x+3))/(x) = 4x^2+5x+3`

This equation has no roots, so we can't simplify it any further.
