Answer:
w ≤ -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The first point is on -2 and is going down the number line so w is less than -2 but since there is a closed circle, it would be w is less than or equal to -2 or w ≤ -2
Nope, those lines are not parallel.
Answer:

The expression (3n-2)(4n+1) can be factored with the Distributive Property. It cannot be factored with a Least Common Multiple (LCM), for instance, because the terms within each set of parentheses are completely simplified.
Step-by-step explanation:

Good luck to you!
The population Pa of insect A after t years is given by the equation
Pa = 1.3(1-0.038)^t
while the population Pb of insect B after t years is
Pb = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
We equate the above expressions to find the number of years t it will take the two populations to be equal:
Pa = Pb
1.3(1-0.038)^t = 2.1(1-0.046)^t
1.3(0.962)^t = 2.1(0.954)^t
These are the equations that can be used to determine how long it will be before the populations of the two species are equal.
We can now solve for t:
(0.962)^t / (0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
(0.962/0.954)^t = 2.1/1.3
After taking the log of both sides of our equation, number of years t is
t = log (2.1/1.3) / log (0.962/0.954)
t = 57 years
Therefore, it will take 57 years for the population of insect A to equal the population of insect B.
For the given equation;

We shall begin by expanding the parenthesis on the left side, after which we would combine all terms on and move all of them to the left side, which shall yield a quadratic equation. Then we shall solve.
Let us begin by expanding the parenthesis;

Now that we have expanded the left side of the equation, we would have;

We shall now solve the resulting quadratic equation using the quadratic formula as follows;
