Marisol grouped the terms and factored the GCF out of the groups of the polynomial 6x3 – 22x2 – 9x + 33. Her work is shown.Step 1: (6x3 – 22x2) – (9x + 33)Step 2: 2x2(3x – 11) – 3(3x + 11)

A
Marisol should realize that her work shows that the polynomial is prime.
B
Marisol should go back and group the terms in Step 1 as (6x3 – 22x2) – (9x – 33).
C
Marisol should go back and group the terms in Step 1 as (6x3 – 22x2) + (9x – 33).
D
Marisol should refactor the expression in Step 2 as 2x2(3x + 11) – 3(3x + 11).

Miguel stated that any monomial can be a cube root. Sylvia disagreed and said that a monomial cube root must have exponents divisible by 3. Who is correct, and why?

A
Sylvia is correct. Any variable term, when it is cubed, always has an exponent divisible by 3.
B
Miguel is correct. Any monomial can be a perfect cube root because, when it is cubed, the variables will have exponents divisible by 3.
C
Sylvia is correct. In order for the cube to have exponents that are divisible by 3, the cube root has to be divisible by 3.
D
Miguel is correct. Sylvia confused the perfect square root with the perfect cube root.
