The correct Answer is:
To determine which polynomial function is divisible by \(2x + 5\), we will analyze the combinations of the given polynomials \(p(x) = 6x^2 + 7x - 2\) and \(q(x) = 2x^2 + 7x - 1\). We will use the property that for a polynomial to be divisible by another polynomial, the constant term of the polynomial must be divisible by the constant term of the divisor. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Constant Term of the Divisor**: The divisor is \(2x + 5\), and its constant term is \(5\). 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: We will evaluate the combinations of \(p(x)\) and \(q(x)\) given in the options to find their constant terms. - **Option A: \(p(x) + q(x)\)**: \[ p(x) + q(x) = (6x^2 + 7x - 2) + (2x^2 + 7x - 1) = 8x^2 + 14x - 3 \] The constant term is \(-3\). Since \(-3\) is not divisible by \(5\), we can eliminate this option. - **Option B: \(2p(x) + q(x)\)**: \[ 2p(x) + q(x) = 2(6x^2 + 7x - 2) + (2x^2 + 7x - 1) = 12x^2 + 14x - 4 + 2x^2 + 7x - 1 = 14x^2 + 21x - 5 \] The constant term is \(-5\). Since \(-5\) is divisible by \(5\), we will keep this option for further evaluation. - **Option C: \(p(x) + 3q(x)\)**: \[ p(x) + 3q(x) = (6x^2 + 7x - 2) + 3(2x^2 + 7x - 1) = 6x^2 + 7x - 2 + 6x^2 + 21x - 3 = 12x^2 + 28x - 5 \] The constant term is \(-5\). Since \(-5\) is divisible by \(5\), we will keep this option for further evaluation. - **Option D: \(2p(x) + 3q(x)\)**: \[ 2p(x) + 3q(x) = 2(6x^2 + 7x - 2) + 3(2x^2 + 7x - 1) = 12x^2 + 14x - 4 + 6x^2 + 21x - 3 = 18x^2 + 35x - 7 \] The constant term is \(-7\). Since \(-7\) is not divisible by \(5\), we can eliminate this option. 3. **Long Division**: Now, we need to perform long division for the remaining options (B and C) to check for divisibility by \(2x + 5\). - **Option B: \(14x^2 + 21x - 5\)**: - Divide \(14x^2\) by \(2x\) to get \(7x\). - Multiply \(7x\) by \(2x + 5\) to get \(14x^2 + 35x\). - Subtract: \(21x - 35x = -14x\). - Bring down \(-5\): \(-14x - 5\). - Divide \(-14x\) by \(2x\) to get \(-7\). - Multiply \(-7\) by \(2x + 5\) to get \(-14x - 35\). - Subtract: \(-5 + 35 = 30\). - Since we have a remainder of \(30\), this polynomial is **not divisible** by \(2x + 5\). - **Option C: \(12x^2 + 28x - 5\)**: - Divide \(12x^2\) by \(2x\) to get \(6x\). - Multiply \(6x\) by \(2x + 5\) to get \(12x^2 + 30x\). - Subtract: \(28x - 30x = -2x\). - Bring down \(-5\): \(-2x - 5\). - Divide \(-2x\) by \(2x\) to get \(-1\). - Multiply \(-1\) by \(2x + 5\) to get \(-2x - 5\). - Subtract: \(-5 + 5 = 0\). - Since the remainder is \(0\), this polynomial is **divisible** by \(2x + 5\). ### Conclusion: The polynomial function that is divisible by \(2x + 5\) is **Option C: \(p(x) + 3q(x)\)**.

To determine which polynomial function is divisible by \(2x + 5\), we will analyze the combinations of the given polynomials \(p(x) = 6x^2 + 7x - 2\) and \(q(x) = 2x^2 + 7x - 1\). We will use the property that for a polynomial to be divisible by another polynomial, the constant term of the polynomial must be divisible by the constant term of the divisor. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Constant Term of the Divisor**: The divisor is \(2x + 5\), and its constant term is \(5\). 2. **Evaluate Each Option**: ...
