Answer: There are 495 possible different sets of answers the could contain exactly 8 correct answers of false.
Basically, we are looking for the number of different ways of selecting 8 objects out of a set of 12 objects. Our objects are answers of false and the set is the test.
This is a combination problem. The formula would be:
12! / (8! x 4!) = 495
Multiply the car by 2: 300 meters x 2 = 600 meters
30 seconds x 2 = 60 seconds.
The car also traveled 600 meters in 60 seconds, so the speed of the vehicles are the same.
No vehicle was faster.
The 5 represents the starting distance from home. In other words, when t = 0, the value of y is y = 5. Replacing t with 0 leads to this y value. This is the y intercept. So at time 0 minutes, the ant is 5 units from home. Replace "units" with whatever units you happen to be using.
Multiply the equation:
The solution set is the same, because multiplying both sides of an equation by a non-zero number doesn't change the solution set. In fact, if you rewrite the equation as
Multiplying this by 3 (or whatever number, for all it matters) gives
Now, a product is zero if and only if at least one of the factor is zero. So, either 
or
Since the first is clearly impossible, the second one must be true, which is the original equation.
