Determine whether each statement in Exercises 43–50 is true or false. $$0 \geq-13$$
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?
$$\text { factor completely.}$$ $$-x^{2}-4 x+5$$
Evaluate each algebraic expression for the given value or values of the variable(s). $$\frac{7(x-3)}{2 x-16}, \text { for } x=9$$
This will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. a. Use a calculator to approximate \(\sqrt{300}\) to two decimal places. b. Use a calculator to approximate \(10 \sqrt{3}\) to two decimal places. c. Based on your answers to parts (a) and (b), what can you conclude?
