Hello!
So, this is quite the complex question, and here are the following steps:
What is the quotient of
?
(rationalize the denominator)
(factor 3 from the expression)
(reduce the fraction with 3)
(distributive property)
(simplify 3 · 9²)
(simplify the radical)
(factor 3 from the expression)
(reduce the fraction)
The answer, is simply, choice A,
≈ 0.263758.
Simple, what you're basically doing is simplifying,

well, you have 3x and you have

12/3=4
and you can "cancel" out an x, making your answer,

.
Answer:
$30
Srry if its wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
This is exponential decay which can be expressed as:
y=ab^t, y=final value, a=initial value, b=rate, t=time
In this case a=25000, r=(100-20)/100=0.8 so
y=25000(0.8^t), so in 4.5 years...
y=25000(0.8^4.5)
y≈$9158.93 (to nearest cent)
