a > b

A . a^5b^3/ab^4 = a^4/b

B. a^4 / a*a*a*a = a^4 / a^4 = 1

C. ab^2 / a^2b = b/a

D. b*b*b/b^3 = b^3/b^3 = 1

B and D, doesn't matter what values of a and b it's always equal 1

Lets say a = 2 and b = 1

A. a^4/b = 2^4 / 1 = 16/1 = 16

C. b/a = 1/2 = 0.5

So C has the least value

Answer:

ab^2 / a^2b

The perimeter of a rectangle is 60 m, and it’s length is twice it’s width. Find the length of the rectangle.
Bond [772]
Let x represent the width of the rectangle.
We know 2x=length
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length)+2(width)
So we can make an equation for the perimeter of this particular rectangle.
2(2x)+2(x)=60
4x+2x=60
6x=60
x=10.
Since the width is equal to x, we know that the width of this rectangle is 10 m.
And, the length is twice of the width.
10*2=20
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20 meters.

Answer:

C) x≥4  and  x   ≤ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

| 8x | ≥ 32

To remove the absolute values, we get two equations, one positive and one negative

8x ≥ 32         and     8x   ≤ -32

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 ≥ 32/8         and     8x/8   ≤ -32/8

x ≥ 4        and           x   ≤ -4
