Answer: see below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The "point" on the inequality symbol points to the smaller number
- < is the "less than" inequality symbol
- > is the "greater than" inequality symbol
- = is the "equal" symbol
18) 3 = 3
20) 
22) 0.8 = 4/5 Note: 4÷5 is 0.8
26) 0.075 < 0.39
28) -5.2 < -4.8
30) 0.4 > 
32) 
f(x) = sqrt(x)
f(17) = sqrt(17)
it is close to sqrt(16)=4
so to the nearest integer
f(17) = 4
Since it says when Added they are a negative and when multiplied they are positive, we know our two numbers are negative.
think of all multiples of 24
6 and 4
8 and 3
12 and 2
24 and 1
however, none of our choices here would be correct.
Use the compound interest formula.
A = P*(1 +r/n)^(n*t)
where P is the principal, r is the annual rate, n is the number of compoundings per year, and t is the number of years.
For the first investment, ...
A = 208,000*(1 +.08/4)^(4*5) = 309,077.06
For the second investment, ...
A = 218,000*(1 +.07/2)^(2*4) = 287,064.37
