Answer:
My best answer is option number 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the first 3 answers follow a specific pattern in addition and division, i.e. they only go up to 4 different numbers, whereas with the 4th option, that changes. Not only that, but if you look closely, the 4th option adds 6 to itself 5 times, that's the same as 6x5, which equals 30, so if you divide 30 by 5, its almost pointless seeing as how you already know it's gonna get you 6.
If f(x)=2x-1 just plug in the 3 where x is. So it would be 2(3)-1=5
Factor the denominator
x^2+3x-10
(x+5)(x-2)
(x-2)/((x+5)(x-2))
The x-2 in the numerator and denominator cancel out.
Final answer: x+5
Reciprocals are technically flipped fractions. So it would be 10/9. 9 goes into ten one time, so it's 1 1/9.
