C) 18 minutes
This is because each sparkler takes 2 minutes to burn so 10 * 120 = 1200 seconds, then 120 / 0.10 = 12 (which is the 10th of the 2 minutes) now we do 12 * 10 = 120 to get the cut time from lighting a match after a tenth remained. now since we have that we do 1200 - 120 and get 1080 seconds and that is the total time n seconds of the burning matches, now we convert it to minutes by doing 1080 / 60 and get 18.
hope this is helpful!

If two figures or lengths are similar, then the ratios of the corresponding lengths are equal.
Thus, 8/32 =5/x
8x = 160
x = 20 feet
Therefore, the length of the flag pole was 20 feet long

If f(x) = x^4-x^3+x^2 and g(x)= -x^2, where x does not = 0, what is (f/g)(x)?

Korvikt [17]

For this case we have the following functions:

$f (x) = x ^ 4-x ^ 3 x ^ 2\\g (x) = - x ^ 2$

By definition of composition of functions we have to: $(f \ g) (x) = \frac {f (x)} {g (x)}$

So:

$\frac {f (x)} {g (x)} = \frac {x ^ 4-x ^ 3 x ^ 2} {- x ^ 2} = \frac {x ^ 4} {- x ^ 2} +\frac {-x ^ 3} {- x ^ 2}+ \frac {x ^ 2} {- x ^ 2} =$

By definition of division of powers of the same base we have to place the same base and subtract the exponents:

$\frac {f (x)} {g (x)} = - x ^ 2+x-1$

ANswer:

$(\frac {f} {g}) (x) = - x ^ 2 +x-1$

Jim will rent a car for the weekend. He can choose one of two plans. The first plan has an initial fee of $ 59 and costs an addi

AveGali [126]

Answer:This problem is about linear equations. We assume Dale drive X miles, and the total cost is $Y, then we can get:

Plan I: Y=38+0.11X

Plan II: Y=49+0.07X

When both plans cost the same, 38+0.11X=49+0.07X. We will get X = 275miles, and Y=$68.25

Simply the expression 2(6+3n)-4

Ronch [10]

Answer:

8+6n

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute the 2 into the parenthesis.

2(6)+2(3n)-4

Then, multiply the numbers.

12+6n-4

Now add(subtract in this case) the common multiples.

12-4= 8

8+6n

Since you can no longer simplify the equation, this is the answer..

8+6n
