Multiple Choice

Your classmate divided rational algebraic expressions as presented.

Is your classmate’s solution correct?

• Yes. The solution presented is correct.

• Yes. Common factors can be directly divided out.

• $$No.The\ correct\ answer\ is\ \frac{4}{\left(x+3\right)^2}$$
  

• No. Get the reciprocal of the divisor first, then multiply.
