Solution

To solve the problem of finding the quotient of the given rational expressions, we need to divide the first rational expression by the second. Let's go through the steps:

  1. Break Down the Problem

    • We have two rational expressions: x+2x1\frac{x+2}{x-1} and 32x\frac{3}{2x}.
    • We need to find the quotient of these expressions, which means dividing the first expression by the second.
  2. Relevant Concepts

    • Dividing by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying by its reciprocal. Therefore, x+2x132x\frac{\frac{x+2}{x-1}}{\frac{3}{2x}} is equivalent to x+2x1×2x3\frac{x+2}{x-1} \times \frac{2x}{3}.
  3. Analysis and Detail

    • Multiply the numerators: (x+2)×2x=2x(x+2)=2x2+4x(x+2) \times 2x = 2x(x+2) = 2x^2 + 4x.
    • Multiply the denominators: (x1)×3=3(x1)=3x3(x-1) \times 3 = 3(x-1) = 3x - 3.
  4. Verify and Summarize

    • The resulting expression is 2x2+4x3x3\frac{2x^2 + 4x}{3x - 3}.
    • This matches option B.

Final Answer

The quotient of the rational expressions is 2x2+4x3x3\frac{2x^2 + 4x}{3x - 3}, which corresponds to option B.
