The answer is A. I have a rule that says: If you can factor it, factor it. That leaves us with (t-2)(t-2)=0. Therefore, t=2. Plug 2 into the other two binomials: (2+3)(2+6)= 5 x 8 = 40.
Let’s see what the ACT folks have for us today.

The answer is C. The charts and graphs have the answers for the ACT Science questions. Looking at the chart I can see that before 100 years there are pine trees but no oak-hickory trees. After 100 years, the situation is reversed. That leaves us with decreasing pines and increasing oak-hickory, answer C.
I apologize for the cursory explanations and comments this morning. I’m on my way to a conference regarding how to better implement the use of video-based instruction. Because my courses and tutoring extensively use videos, I thought it would be a good place for me to learn some things about better helping you.
See you tomorrow.
