So hmm notice the picture below
thus

so, is clearly not 0, so it has to be 1.74
40 meters in 60 seconds could be expressed as

So, in order to get the unit rate, we divide the numerator and denominator by 16.

So, the unit rate is 2.5 meters per second (or every one second)
next 3 steps:
ABC<u>DC</u>BA
ABCD<u>ED</u>CBA
ABCDE<u>FE</u>DCBA
Patern: add 2 letters
1. 1
2. 3
3. 5
4. 7
5. 9
6. 11
7. 13
8. 15
9. 17
10. 19
The 10th step has 19 letters
The factored form is (x - 8)(x + 2).
(x - 8)(x + 2)
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 16
x^2 - 6x - 16
C is the answer because its longer and a big number sentence
