Question
Find the error in the following work.
Dx
2x + 5
2
X-1
=
(2x + 5)(2x) - (x² − 1)2
(x²-1)²
2
4x² +10x-2x²+2
(x²-1)²
2x² + 10x + 2
(x²-1)²
Choose the correct answer below.
OA. In the last step, the numerator should be 2x² - 10x + 2.
OB. In the first step, the numerator should be (x² − 1)2 - (2x + 5)(2x).
OC. In all three steps, the denominator should be (2x + 5)².
OD. In the first step, the numerator should be (x²-1) (2x + 5) - (2x)2.
