What happens to the inequality sign when you multiply or divide by a negative number -8x-1> 15

Which approach to the theory-and-research cycle does the following sequence reflect: (1) specific observations suggest generalizations, (2) generalizations produce a tentative theory, (3) the theory is tested through the formation of hypotheses, and (4) hypotheses may provide suggestions for additional observations?

He graph of f(x) = |x| is stretched by a factor of 0.3 and translated down 4 units. which statement about the domain and range of each function is correct? the range of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers greater than or equal to 4. the domain of the transformed function is all real numbers and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function. the range of the transformed function is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0 and is, therefore, different from that of the parent function. the domain of the transformed function and the parent function are both all real numbers.

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve -5m = -40? a) multiply by -5. b) divide by -5. c) multiply by -40. d) divide by -40.
