The value at x = 2 for x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1 x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 +4x + 1
Options
- A3
- B25 61
- C1 3
- D19 73
Correct answer
C. 1 3
Step-by-step solution
The given expression is x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1 x^4 + 4x^3 + 6x^2 + 4x + 1 Using the binomial expansion, the numerator can be written as (x + 1)^3 and the denominator can be written as (x + 1)^4 . The expression simplifies to (x + 1)^3 (x + 1)^4 = 1 x + 1 Substituting x = 2 , we get 1 2 + 1 = 1 3 Answer: 1 3
