Simplify 6a^2b^-2/8a^-3b^3
Assume a≠0 b≠0

Given that (x-3) is a factor of f(x)=x^3+ax^2-x-6, find a and hence the number of real roots or the equation f(x)=0

The tuition costs, c, for a local community college are modeled by c(h) = 250 + 200h, where h represents the number of credit hours taken. the local state university has tuition costs, s, modeled by the function s(h) = 300 + 180h. how many credit hours will a student have to take for the two tuition costs to be equal? round the answer to the nearest tenth of an hour.

25 ! the line of best fit is h = 5a + 86. predict the height at age 16. show your work.
