To determine which expression is equivalent to [tex]\( 9x^2 + 5x - 7(x^2 + 4) \)[/tex], let's simplify it step-by-step:
1. Distribute [tex]\(-7\)[/tex] to the terms inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
9x^2 + 5x - 7(x^2 + 4) = 9x^2 + 5x - 7x^2 - 7 \cdot 4
\][/tex]
2. Simplify the multiplication inside the parentheses:
[tex]\[
9x^2 + 5x - 7x^2 - 28
\][/tex]
3. Combine like terms:
- Combine the [tex]\(x^2\)[/tex] terms: [tex]\(9x^2 - 7x^2 = 2x^2\)[/tex]
[tex]\[
2x^2 + 5x - 28
\][/tex]
So, the simplified expression is [tex]\( 2x^2 + 5x - 28 \)[/tex].
Given the options:
A. [tex]\( x^2 + 28 \)[/tex]
B. [tex]\( x^2 + 4 \)[/tex]
C. [tex]\(-4 x^2 + 5 x - 4\)[/tex]
D. [tex]\(-4 x^2 + 5 x - 28\)[/tex]
None of these options match the simplified expression directly. Let's recheck our steps:
It appears that we might have missed a mistake in the provided Python code or potentially in our initial steps:
Checking again:
The equivalent of [tex]\(9x^2 + 5x - 7(x^2 + 4)\)[/tex]:
Step 1: [tex]\(9x^2 + 5x - 7x^2 - 28\)[/tex]
Which implies combining like terms:
[tex]\( (9x^2 - 7x^2) +5x -28 \Rightarrow 2x^2 + 5x - 28 \)[/tex]
Should match it. So in real context might check if needed to revisit these or confirm:
