Should be D. (5^2)^2= 5^4 (you multiply them) and 5^4+5^4=5^8
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
If an expression is not dependent on x, it simplified form must not contain x. To show that this is the case for (a) and (b) we need to simplify them and assess:
(a)

Indeed, does not depend on x!
And (b)

Again, does not depend on x.
Answer:
Point (4,4) satisfies the required condition.
Step-by-step explanation:
x²-3x+2 = x²-2x-x+2
= x(x-2)-1(x-2)
= (x-2)(x-1)
According to the given information
y ≤ (x-2)(x-1) ...(1)
So lets consider one point having coordinates (4,4).
Substitute (4,4) in equation (1), we get
4≤ (4-2)(4-1)
4 ≤ 6
Hence point (4,4) satisfies the above condition. It's only one example there will be more points which satisfies the required condition.
Lets say its 30 percent: 8oz x .3 = 2.4oz, therefore 8oz - 2.4oz = 5.6oz of fruit.
Lets say its 40 percent: 8oz x .4 = 3.2oz, therefore 8oz - 3.2oz = 4.8oz of fruit.
So it can range from 4.8 ounces to 5.6 ounces of edible fruit.
