(b) Choose the equation with the widest graph. \[ y=3|x| \quad \text { y } y=\frac{1}{3}|x| \quad \text { y } y=-\frac{1}{4}|x| \quad \text { O } y=-4 \]

Your answer Is Incorrect. \( 9 \times(3+4)=(\square \times 3)+(\square \times 4) \) Use the distributive property to fill in the blanks below.

Solve the equation by factoring. Select the correct solution. \( 6 x^{2}-5 x-4=0 \) \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { O } & \text { A) } x=-\frac{4}{3},-\frac{1}{2} \\ \text { O } & \text { B) } x=-\frac{1}{2}, \frac{4}{3} \\ \text { O } & \text { C) } x=-\frac{4}{3}, \frac{1}{2} \\ \text { - } & \text { D) } x=\frac{1}{2}, \frac{4}{3}\end{array} \)

Solve the equation. \( \ln (8 \mathrm{x}+15)-\ln \mathrm{x}=\ln 9 \) Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in th A. The solution set is \( \{ \) B. The solution is the empty set. (Simplify your answer. Use a comma to separate a

b. \( -0.5 p+\frac{1}{2} p-2.75+\frac{2}{3} \)

Use the properties of logarithms to rewrite the expression. Simplify the res \( \log _{3} \frac{\sqrt{x} \sqrt[3]{y}}{w} \sqrt{z} \) Choose the correct answer. A. \( -\frac{1}{2} \log _{3} x-\frac{1}{3} \log _{3} y+5 \log _{3} w+\frac{1}{2} \log _{3} z \) B. \( \frac{1}{2} \log _{3} x+\frac{1}{3} \log _{3} y-5 \log _{3} w-\frac{1}{2} \log _{3} z \) C. \( { }^{2} \log _{3} x+3 \log _{3} y-5 \log _{3} w-2 \log _{3} z \) D. This cannot be simplified.
