We are given with the expression above such that the required in the problem is the quotient of the two polynomials. We just have to try each of the polynomials given as option to 3x2 + 2 to give the equation in the numerator. The answer is B.) 2x^2 – 5x – 2
Think about a really long, flat 3-dimensional object. This has a certain volume, and a certain (big) surface area because of its length. Now, make the 3-dimensional object fat and maintain the volume. Notice how you have minimized surface area but maintained volume. This is how I would go about solving it.
Can you take a picture of it
