Iam confused on who to find a linear equation

Factor k2 - 17k + 16. a.(k - 2)(k - 8) b.(k - 1)(k + 16) c.(k - 1)(k - 16)

A. use the formula for continuous compounding with the original example: $1000 invested at 2% for 1 year. record the amount to 5 decimal places. use a calculator. b. compare it to the result using the original compound interest formula with n = 365 calculated to 5 decimal places. which has a larger value? explain.

Set $r$ is a set of rectangles such that (1) only the grid points shown here are used as vertices, (2) all sides are vertical or horizontal and (3) no two rectangles in the set are congruent. if $r$ contains the maximum possible number of rectangles given these conditions, what fraction of the rectangles in set $r$ are squares? express your answer as a common fraction.
