Hi again :)

5b^3(4 - 9b^2)

Use the distributive property

=(5b^3)(4) + (5b^3)(-9b^2)

= 20b^3 - 45b^5

= -45b^5 + 20b^3

Have a nice day!

Hello! And thank you for your question!

Distribute:

5b^3 x 4 + 5b^3 x - 9b^2

Simplify 5b^3 x 4:

20b^3 + 5b^3 x -9b^2

Take out the constants:

20b^3 + (5 x -9)b^3b^2

Simplify 5 x -9:

20b^3 - 45b^3b^2

Use Product Rule:

20b^3 - 45b^3+2

Simplify 3 + 2:

20b^3 - 45b^5

Final Answer:

20b³ - 45b⁵

Jake plans to take a summer job at the recreation center as a lifeguard. He can be paid according to two different plans.

Jlenok [28]

Payment on Plan A = $300

x is the number of hours Jake works.

Payment on Plan B = Fixed charges + (charge per hour) × (number of hours worked)

= $150 + $6.25(x)

= 150 + 6.25x

Since, the payment on Plan B should be more than Plan A,

150 + 6.25x > 300

6.25x > 300 - 150

6.25x > 150

$x > \frac{150}{6.25}$

x > 24

The minimum vale for x which satisfies this inequality is 25.

Hence, x = 25.

PRECALCULUS please help

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = \frac{2x + 6}{3x} \\ \\ g(x) = \frac{ \sqrt{x} - 8}{3x}$

To find ( f - g)(x) , subtract g(x) from f(x)

That's

$( f - g)(x) = \frac{2x + 6}{3x} - \frac{ \sqrt{x} - 8}{3x}$

Since they have a common denominator that's 3x we can subtract them directly

That's

$\frac{2x + 6}{3x} - \frac{ \sqrt{x} - 8}{3x} = \frac{2x + 6 - ( \sqrt{x} - 8) }{3x} \\ = \frac{2x + 6 - \sqrt{x} + 8 }{3x} \\ = \frac{2x - \sqrt{x} + 6 + 8 }{3x}$
