To create an equivalent form of the rational expression 27h^8 - 18h^5 + 12h^3h, we need to simplify it further.
First, let's factor out the common factor of h^3 from each term to simplify the expression:
27h^8 - 18h^5 + 12h^3h
= h^3(27h^5 - 18h^2 + 12)
Now, let's simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
27h^5 - 18h^2 + 12 = 9(3h^5 - 2h^2 + 4)
Therefore, the correct equivalent form of the rational expression is:
9h^3(3h^5 - 2h^2 + 4)
So, the answer is: 9h^3(3h^5 - 2h^2 + 4)
To find the equivalent form of the rational expression 27h^8 − 18h^5 + 12h^3h, we need to simplify the expression by factoring out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each term.
Looking at the terms, we can see that the GCF is h^3. By factoring out h^3, we get:
27h^8 − 18h^5 + 12h^3h = h^3(27h^5 − 18h^2 + 12)
So, the simplified equivalent form of the given rational expression is: 9h^3(3h^5 − 2h^2 + 4).
Therefore, the correct equivalent form from the given options is: 9h^7 − 6h^4 + 4.
