I'm not quite sure how I'd attach a picture of my working so I'll explain the method.
16) I multiplied both 3.5 and 40 by ten so that I could divide them to find the number of servings. 35 divided by 400 is 11 remainder 15. If you then divide the remainder by 10 you get 11 servings and 1.5 ounces left over.
17) if you add up 26, 17, and 37 inches you get 80 inches, or just over 6 feet. Hence, he should buy an 8 foot length rod in order to have as little waste as possible.
18) 12.25 pounds is 196 ounces. Hence, the shipping rate at $0.26/ounce would end up being $50.96. From this we can see that the flat-rate box at $25 is less expensive.

Answer:
C. (5x - 1)(x + 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
In a factoring problem by hand, the common steps to solve would be the "AM" method, or (Add-Multiply). Simply stated, finding what adds to the x-coeficient and what multiplies to the constant. In this case, what adds to 39(x) and what multiplies to 8. Just reading that, we can see that there aren't any numbers that can do that, so we have to improvise. Set up the problem equal to something that it can factor into:
- <em>Multiply the 5 and -8</em> = -40: <em>this is what we will factor</em>
- <em>The factors with add to 39 are 40 and -1</em>.
- <em>Set up the problem:</em>

Now, we can fo the math:

8(5x - 1) + x(5x - 1)
<em>Factor (5x - 1) from this:</em>
(5x - 1)(x + 8)
And we have our answer.
Answer:
a' > a
Step-by-step explanation:

A larger value for a will stretch the exponential in the y direction. A larger value for b will stretch it in the x direction.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the equation:

And we want to solve for x.
We can solve it by completing the square.
First, subtract 58 from both sides:

Divide the b term by 2 and square it:

So, add 9 to both sides:

On the left, the perfect square trinomial pattern. Add on the right. So:

Take the square root of both sides:

The square root of -49 is 7i:

Add 3 to both sides:

So, our answer is D.
And we're done!
