Answer:
Statement a, b are true.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we have to define term,
A term is any constant, variable, or product of constants and variables in an expression, typically separated by a + or - sign.
For statement a,
The numerator has two terms. One is 3x and the other is 5.
For Statement b,
The denominator has three terms. One is 3x^2, second is x and the third term is 5.
For Statement c,
The number 5 in both numerator and denominator is added to the other terms, it had to be a multiplicative factor in both to cancel out. So it cannot be cancelled out.
For Statement d,
The number of factors of a polynomial are equal to its degree. The denominator is a polynomial of degree two/Quadratic, so it will not have more than 2 factors. So statement d is false.
For Statement e
The denominator is not a single factor as it is a degree 2 polynomial which can be further broken down to 2 factors.
