As for the ques. yes 1 also provide the same answer but you may be lucky , if the ques states: (4n+(2)(4n))
will n = 0 and n= 1 provide the same answer?
Question states: If n is an integer, what is the least possible value of
(3n+(3)(3n))but you change the basic structure of this question stem which states:
(an+(a)(an)) You can not change it to 2 in the numerator of second part.
(4n+(2)(4n))If you follow the stem
if a=3
(3n+(3)(3n))if a=4
(4n+(4)(4n)) if a=2
(2n+(2)(2n)) ........
(an+(a)(an)) Always n=0, n=1 works for this because we when n=0, first part is= 1 and second part is a. and
when n=1 first part is= a and second part is 1.
Hence, the result is either 1+a or a+1.
Hope this would clear the confusion about this question.
