Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
8 is LESS THAN 1/2x
so youd take those numbers and multiply by 1/2
C, B, and A are all under 8, so that would be wrong
when you multiply 1/2 with 17, you get 8.5 which is bigger than 8. then everything else above that is more than 8, therefore D is the right answer.
Answer:
2^3 X 2^5 = 2^8
when multiplying indices with the same base number just add the indices
So, let's make these two values improper fractions so they're easier to work with. 
So, to get the rate he grew in those months we have:
And to get the rate he grew in one month we have to divide both our numerator and our denominator by 21 to get:
aka he grew 1.24 inches in a month.
Remember the order of operations. The first step in this problem will be to solve the exponent.
Take (2x)^3. Remember that since there are parentheses around 2x, that means you have to cube 2 and x.
(2x)^3 = 2^3 * x^3 = 8x^3
Now multiply that answer by 4 to finish simplifying.
8x^3 * 4 = 32 x^3
Your answer should be: 32x^3
