The All-Clean Laundry Company washes towels for a nearby hotel. The function f(x) gives the number of loads required whenthere are x bins of towels to be washed. What does f(9) > 12 tell you?A. It takes more than 9 loads to wash 12 bins of towels. B. It takes more than 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels. C. It takes less than 9 loads to wash 12 bins of towels. D. It takes 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels

B.It takes more than 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) gives the number of loads required when there are x bins of towels to be washed.

f(x)=Number of loads

x=Bins of towels

Therefore in the inequality f(9)>12

If f(9)>12, it means Number of loads is more than 12.

f(9)>12 therefore tells us that it takes more than 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels.

The correct option is B

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
