Identify the initial value and rate of change for the graph shown.

a coordinate plane graph is shown. a line is graphed that passes through the y-intercept at 4 and through the point 4 comma 1.

initial value: 5.5, rate of change: negative 3 over 4.
initial value: 4, rate of change: negative 3 over 4.
initial value: negative 3 over 4., rate of change: 4
initial value: negative 3 over 4., rate of change: 5.5

What is the expression in factored form? -20x^2 - 12x a. 4x(5x+3) b. -4x(5x-3) c. -4(5x+3) d. -4x(5x+3)

Acell phone company offers two plans to its subscribers. at the time new subscribers sign up, they are asked to provide some demographic information. the mean yearly income for a sample of 40 subscribers to plan a is $45,000 with a standard deviation of $9,200. for a sample of 25 subscribers to plan b, the mean income is $64,300 with a standard deviation of $7,100. at the 0.025 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude the mean income of those selecting plan b is larger? assume unequal population standard deviations. hint: for the calculations, assume the plan a as the first sample. what is the decision rule? (negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answer to 3 decimal places.) compute the value of the test statistic. (negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. round your answer to 2 decimal places.) what is your decision regarding h0 ? reject h0 fail to reject h0 compute the p-value. less than 0.01 between 0.01 and 0.025 between 0.025 and 0.05 between 0.05 and 0.10 greater than 0.10

Which expression is equivalent to (5x^7+7x^8) − (4x^4−2x^8)? a. 9x^8 + 5x^7−4x^4 b. 3x^8 + 7x^7 c. 12x^8 − 2x^4 d. 5x^8 + 5x^7 + 4x^4
