(06.04 MC) The function f(x) = 4x + 8 represents the distance traveled by a herd of elephants in miles. The function g(x) = x − 1 represents the time the herd traveled in hours. Solve f divided by g of 4, and interpret the answer. 8; the number of elephants in the herd one eighth; the number of elephants in the herd 8; the elephants' rate in miles per hour one eighth; the elephants' rate in miles per hour

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
