Well 40 divided by 5 is 8 and you don't have options so I would say 8 loads a day :)
There is a lot to go over here. Unfortunately it looks like you got a lot incorrect. I'll focus on two problems. Hopefully these examples below will help correct the other mistakes.
---------------------------------------------------------
Problem 7)
We have the starting value be 20 and the ending value be 11. Subtract the values: (end)-(start) = 11 - 20 = -9. The negative indicates we have a drop or decrease.
We'll focus on the positive version of this number, so 9. Divide this value over the starting amount 20 to get 9/20 = 0.45 = 45%
So going from 20 miles to 11 miles is a decrease of 45%
Answer to problem 7 is: 45%
---------------------------------------------------------
Problem 13)
An increase of 300% means we added 3 times the original amount onto the original amount.
We take 300% of 25 to get 3*25 = 75
Which is then added onto 25 to get 25+75 = 100
Answer to problem 13 is: 100
To find the correct function, just plug in 10 and 2 to see if the function equals zero with both numbers.
f(x)=x^2-12x+20
f(10)=100-120+20
f(10)=0 --> that's what we want, so let's check the other number
f(x)=x^2-12x+20
f(2)=4-24+20
f(2)=0 --> perfect. this function has zeros at both x=10 and x=2
The function that has zeros at both x=10 and x=2 is f(x)=x^2-12x+20.
First we rewrite the expression:
(4x ^ 3) * (2x) ^ - 4
Using properties of exponents we have:
(4x ^ 3) / (2x) ^ 4
Rewriting:
(4x ^ 3) / 16x ^ 4
(x ^ 3) / 4x ^ 4
(1) / (4x)
answer:
An equivalent expression is:
(1) / (4x)
option 1
20 I apologize if this is wrong
