When graphing a linear inequality, what does a dashed boundary line indicate?

Factor. 8x2y2 – 4x2y – 12xy 4(8x2y2 – x – 12xy) 4(2xy – 4x2y – 12xy) 4x2y2(2xy – xy –3) 4xy(2xy – x – 3)

Follow these steps using the algebra tiles to solve the equation −5x + (−2) = −2x + 4. 1. add 5 positive x-tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 2. add 4 negative unit tiles to both sides and create zero pairs. 3. divide the unit tiles evenly among the x-tiles. x =

Given the equation f(x)=a(b)x where the initial value is 40 and the growth rate is 20% what is f(4)
