Answer:

-8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference quotient for ax^n = anx^(n-1) so here we have

Difference quotient of -8x + 1

= -8x(1-1) + 0 (the difference quotient of any constant is 0).

= -8x^0

= -8 * 1

= -8 (answer).

Jordan was driving down a road and after 4 hours he had traveled 82 miles. At this speed, how many miles could Jordan travel in

You can use a proportion.

4 hours is to 82 miles as 14 hours is to x miles

4/82 = 14/x

Cross multiply to get

4x = 14 * 82

4x = 1148

x = 287

287 miles

Answer:

$r=4\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$4\frac{5}{8} +r=9$

<u>Rewrite the expression to find the value of r:
</u>
$9-4\frac{5}{8}$

<u>Subtract by finding the common denominator:</u>
$9-4\frac{5}{8}$
$9=\frac{9}{1}$
$4\frac{5}{8} =8\times4=32+5=37=\frac{37}{8}$
$\frac{9}{1} -\frac{37}{8}$
$\frac{9}{1} \times8=\frac{72}{8}$
$\frac{37}{8} \times1=\frac{37}{8}$
$\frac{72}{8} -\frac{37}{8}$
$72-37=35$
$=\frac{35}{8}$
$\frac{35}{8} =35\div8=4\frac{3}{8}$
$r=4\frac{3}{8}$
$4\frac{5}{8} +4\frac{3}{8} =9$

Hope this helps.
