Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.

\frac{10 min}{1/2 inch} = \frac{x min}{12 inches}

Cross multiply

120=\frac{1}{2} x

x=240 min

Convert minutes to inches

\frac{240 min}{1}  * \frac{1 hr}{60 min} = 4 hr

Final answer: 4 hours

Hope this helps!

2. You have to see which point has the second value being greater than the first value:

 A) -1 > -2 is not true

 B) 0 > 1 is not true

 C) 2 > 3 is not true

 D) 8 > 4 is true, so it's D

3. Add the two values and see if it's less than 5

 A) -1-4 < 5 is true

 B) 0 + 4 < 5 is true

 C) 1 + 7 < 5 is not true, so this is the answer

 D) 2 + 2 < 5 is true

Marianna [84]

Answer: 4x^2 -13x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 - 8x + 5)-(-3x^2 + 5x-9)

Subtract -3x^2 from x^2

(4x^2 - 8x + 5)-(5x-9)

Subtract 5x from -8x

(4x^2 -13x + 5)-(-9)

Subtract 9 from 5

4x^2 -13x + 14

Could someone help me?<br><br> Why does x^4 * x^-4 = 1?
Alika [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

when you have a negative exponent, you are going to have a fraction. Example: 2^4 * 2^-4= 2^4 is 16 2^-4 is 1/16.

You get the 16 but because it was a negative exponent, the 16 goes on the bottom. 16 as a fraction is 16/1.

When you multiply 16/1 and 1/16. It comes up to 16/16 or 1.
