Question

A student is attempting to factor a polynomial. Sample mathematical work is shown below. Which statement best applies to the sample mathematical work?

Given 2003-16-01-00-00_files/i0280000.jpg, the factors of the first term are a, b, 2003-16-01-00-00_files/i0280001.jpg, c, and 2003-16-01-00-00_files/i0280002.jpg, and the factors of the second term are b and c. Thus, the greatest common factor is bc. Dividing through by the greatest common factor, I get abc + 1. Thus, the factored polynomial is bc(abc + 1).

Answer 1

A.
The student identified the greatest common factor incorrectly.
B.
The student incorrectly divided each term by the greatest common factor.
C.
The student failed to simplify the expression.
D.
The mathematical work shown is correct.
