Simplify \(\frac{9*3^{n+1} - 3^{n+2}}{3^{n+1} - 3^{n}}\)

  • A 3
  • B 9
  • C 27
  • D 81

The correct answer is B. 9

\(\frac{9*3^{n+1} - 3^{n+2}}{3^{n+1} - 3^{n}}\)

= \(\frac{3^n * 3^n * 3^1 * - 3^2 * 3^2}{3^n * 3^1 - 3^n}\)

= \(\frac{3^n (3^2 * 3^1)}{3^n (3^1 - 1)}\)

= \(\frac{27-9}{3-1}\)

= \(\frac{18}{2}\)

= 9
