If (p(x)=(r-3)x^3+(r+1)x^2+9) is a constant polynomial, what is the correct conclusion about (r)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: No such (r) exists

The direct answer is C, no such value of r exists. For the polynomial to be constant, the coefficients of x³ and x² must both be zero. From r−3=0 we get r=3. From r+1=0 we get r=−1. Since one value of r cannot equal both 3 and −1, the requirements are inconsistent. The constant term 9 is non-zero, so if the variable terms could vanish, the result would indeed be a non-zero constant; however, they cannot vanish together. Option A, r=3, removes x³ but leaves 4x². Option B, r=−1, removes x² but leaves −4x³. Option C is correct because no single r satisfies both equations. Option D, r=1, leaves both variable terms. Exam method: write one equation for every variable-term coefficient and check whether all equations have a common solution.
