36. During rehearsal for the Founders' Day choir

1 answer:

6 0

The LCM stands for the least common multiple. The least of the possible number of choir members at the rehearsal is 59.

The least common multiple that is divisible by both a and b is the smallest positive integer, lowest common multiple, or smallest common multiple of two numbers a and b, generally indicated by LCM.

Given the configurations of choir members at the rehearsal, which are,

One configuration was to have only rows of 12,
One was to have only rows of 15,
And one was to have only rows of 20.

Now, it takes the LCM of 12, 15, and 20, then the LCM will be 60, But since None of these configurations worked because for each, the last row had 1 person less than the other rows. The number of members was 1 less than the LCM.

Hence, the least of the possible number of choir members at the rehearsal is 59.

Helppp meee please this one confuses me

$= (3x + 2)(x + 1) \\ = 3x(x + 1) + 2(x + 1) \\ = {3x}^{2} + 3x + 2x + 2 \\ = {3x}^{2} + 5x + 2$

Can someone help simplify?: -8x^3y2(2x^4y^4)

Kisachek [45]

So the rule with multiplying exponents of the same base is to add the exponents together. Applying this rule here would look like this:

$-8x^3y^2*2x^4y^4=(-8*2)x^{3+4}y^{2+4}=-16x^7y^6$

In short, your simplified expression is going to be -16x^7y^6.

A sector of a circle makes a 127° angle at its centre. If the arc of the sector has length 36 mm, find

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Approximately $68.5\; \rm mm$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the angle of this sector to radians:

$\begin{aligned}\theta &= 127^{\circ} \\ &= 127^{\circ} \times \frac{2\pi}{360^{\circ}} \\ &\approx 2.22\end{aligned}$ .

The formula $s = r\, \theta$ relates the arc length $s$ of a sector of angle $\theta$ (in radians) to the radius $r$ of this sector.

In this question, it is given that the arc length of this sector is $s = 36\; \rm mm$ . It was found that $\theta = 2.22$ radians. Rearrange the equation $s = r\, \theta$ to find the radius $r$ of this sector:

$\begin{aligned} r&= \frac{s}{\theta} \\ &\approx \frac{36\; \rm mm}{2.22} \\ &\approx 16.2\; \rm mm\end{aligned}$ .

The perimeter of this sector would be:

$\begin{aligned}& 2\, r + s \\ =\; & 2 \times 16.2\; {\rm mm} + 36\; {\rm mm} \\ =\; & 68.5\; \rm mm\end{aligned}$ .
