Considering the definition of least common multiple, this means that smallest number of packages of each they can buy is 60.

<h3>Least common multiple</h3>

A number is a multiple of another when it contains it exactly n times. In other words, the multiples of a number are the ones you get when you multiply one number by another.

The least common multiple allows us to know what is the smallest number that is a multiple of a certain set of numbers.

One procedure for calculating the least common multiple is to break each number into prime factors. Then the common and uncommon factors are raised to the highest exponent, which must be multiplied.

<h3 /><h3>Smallest number of packages</h3>

To calculate the smallest number of packages of each they can buy, you calculate the least common multiple.

First, the decomposition of the numbers into prime factors is carried out:

15= 3×5

12= 2×2×3= 2²×3

Then, the least common multiple is calculated as 2²×3×5

Solving, the least common multiple between 12 and 15 is 60.

Finally, this means that smallest number of packages of each they can buy is 60.

The function f(x) = 2x2 + 6x - 12 has a domain consisting of the integers from -2 to 1, inclusive. Which set represents the corr
Dimas [21]

Answer:

[-16,-4]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

f(x)=2x^2+6x-12

Domain=[-2,1]

We have to find the set of range values of f(x).

Substitute x=-2

f(-2)=2(-2)^2+6(-2)-12

f(-2)=-16

Substitute x=1

f(1)=2(1)+6(1)-12=-4

Range of f(x)=[-16,-4]

Hence, the set of range values of f(x)

[-16,-4]

Answer:

Ella should not have included 5 in absolute value portion of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Because -1 is a negative number in order to find the true distance between A and B you have to make it positive.

But, because Ella included 5 in the absolute value portion of the equation it messed up the answer.
