Your computer store is having an incredible sale. The price on one model is reduced by \(40 \% .\) Then the sale price is reduced by another \(40 \% .\) If \(x\) is the computer's original price, the sale price can be modeled by $$(x-0.4 x)-0.4(x-0.4 x)$$ a. Factor out \((x-0.4 x)\) from each term. Then simplify the resulting expression. b. Use the simplified expression from part (a) to answer these questions. With a \(40 \%\) reduction followed by a \(40 \%\) reduction, is the computer selling at \(20 \%\) of its original price? If not, at what percentage of the original price is it selling?
$$\text { Factor completely.}$$ $$x^{4}-5 x^{2} y^{2}+4 y^{4}$$
Evaluate each algebraic expression for the given value or values of the variable(s). $$x^{2}+5 x, \text { for } x=6$$
Find the union of the sets. $$\\{1,2,3,4\\} \cup\\{2,4,5\\}$$
List all numbers from the given set that are a. natural numbers, b. whole numbers, c. integers, d. rational numbers, e. irrational numbers, f. real numbers. $$\left\\{-11,-\frac{5}{6}, 0,0.75, \sqrt{5}, \pi, \sqrt{64}\right\\}$$
