Multiple Choice

Simplify. Assume that all exponents represent natural numbers.
- $\left( 8 x ^ { 2 r } - x ^ { r } - 1 \right) + \left( x ^ { 2 r } + 5 x ^ { r } + 3 \right)$

• A) \(9 x ^ { 4 r } + 6 x ^ { 2 r } + 4\)
• B) \(7 x ^ { 4 r } - 6 x ^ { 2 r } - 4\)
• C) \(9 x ^ { 2 r } + 4 x ^ { r } + 2\)
• D) \(8 x ^ { 2 r } + 5 x ^ { r } + 3\)
