Which equation applies the associative property of multiplication?

a: 1/2 ⋅ (5/8 + 3/6) = (1/2 ⋅ 5/8) + (1/2 ⋅ 3/6)

b: −12/5 ⋅ (7/12 ⋅ 1/9) ⋅ 8/5 = (−12/5⋅7/12) ⋅ (1/9⋅8/5)

c: (−4/11 − 2/3) − 3/4 = −4/11 − (2/3 − 3/4)

d: 4/9 ⋅ (−3/8) ⋅ 9/4 = 4/9 ⋅ 9/4 ⋅ (−3/8)

Data for the height of a model rocket launch in the air over time are shown in the table. darryl predicted that the height of the rocket at 8 seconds would be about 93 meters. did darryl make a good prediction? yes, the data are best modeled by a quadratic function. the value of the function at 8 seconds is about 93 meters. yes, the data are best modeled by a linear function. the first differences are constant, so about 93 meters at 8 seconds is reasonable. no, the data are exponential. a better prediction is 150 meters. no, the data are best modeled by a cubic function. a better prediction is 100 meters.
