Answer:C
Step-by-step explanation: When a table represents a nonlinear function, the rate of change is not constant. A wouldn't be the answer because the rate of change is always +10 (you would add 10 to get from -9 to 1; you would add 10 to get from 1 to 10) . It wouldn't be B because the rate of change is always -2, and the rate of change for D is always +3. For C, however, the rate of change is not constant all the way through (to get from 0 to 6, you would add 6, but to get from 6 to 16 you add 10).
Step-by-step explanation:

After staring at this for a few seconds, I think the equation
![-5\sqrt{10}\cdot\sqrt{15}=[1]\sqrt{[2]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=-5%5Csqrt%7B10%7D%5Ccdot%5Csqrt%7B15%7D%3D%5B1%5D%5Csqrt%7B%5B2%5D%7D)
is asking you to simplify the left hand side so that it has a form matching the right hand side, and [1] and [2] are placeholders. My guess is that they're supposed to be integers.
Notice that



Then multiplying by -5, we have

so I believe [1] = -25, and [2] = 6.
Answer: <u>24 years</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
% • total = Answer
4.25% • $40,000 = Answer
.0425 • $40,000 = Answer
Answer = $1,700 per year
40,000 ÷ 1,700 = 23.5
<u>23.5 rounded to the nearest year is 24</u>
