Convert y-4 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-4y^{4}} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^4} \)
\( \frac{-4}{-y} \)
\( \frac{4}{y} \)

Solution

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
60 miles
25 miles
200 miles
280 miles

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 40mph \times 7h \)
280 miles

What is 4c2 - 7c2?

71% Answer Correctly
11c4
-3c2
11c-4
3c2

Solution
