The correct answer is that "Dish A has a greater rate of change."
In Dish A, the values are going up by 2 each day. In Dish B, the values are staying the same.
Therefore, Dish A has a greater rate of change.
12 *12 = 144
Therefore 12^2 = 144
Gavin needs $80 to buy a fish tank. He has saved $8 and plans to work as a babysitter to earn $9 per hour. Which inequality shows the minimum number of hours, n, that Gavin should work as a babysitter to earn enough to buy the fish tank? 8 + 9n ≥ 80, so n ≥ 8 8 + 9n ≤ 80, so n ≤ 8 9n ≥ 80 + 8, so n ≥ 9.8 9n ≤ 80 + 8, so n ≤ 9.8
This system can be a bit tricky unless you write it out:
(2n + 2)(2n - 2) ~ First you have to take one variable and multiply it to each of the other two variables, like:
2n * 2n ~ And:
2n * -2 ~ This gives you:
4n^2 - 4n
Now we do this with the other:
2 * 2n
2 * -2
4n - 4
Now we combine them both while adding like terms:
4n^2 - 4
Therefore your answer is: A. 4n^2 - 4
(This is due to how when having the positive 4n subtracted by the negative it cancels it out. Leaving us with the remaining two terms left.)
I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^
