Find the sum. Express your answer in simplest form.
(14a^2 / 2b) + (3a / 2b)
a) 14a^2 + 3a / 4b
b) 11a^2 /2b
c) 14a^2 + 3a / 2b
d) 11 / 2b
(14a^2 + 3a)/ 2b is an answer, but that is not what you wrote for (c).

To find the sum, we need to add the two given terms together.
The first term is (14a^2 / 2b) and the second term is (3a / 2b).
To add these fractions, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 2b.
Now, we can rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:
(14a^2 / 2b) + (3a / 2b) = (14a^2 + 3a) / 2b
Therefore, the sum is (14a^2 + 3a) / 2b.
Expressing the answer in simplest form, we cannot simplify the expression any further. Therefore, the final answer is (14a^2 + 3a) / 2b.
So, the correct option is c) 14a^2 + 3a / 2b.
