Answer:

$\sf 6. \quad \dfrac{7}{10}$

$\sf 7. \quad \dfrac{5}{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Question 6</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

42 = 2 × 3 × 7
60 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5

42 and 60 share one 2 and one 3 in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 3 = 6.

Therefore, 6 is the GCF of 42 and 60.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

$\implies \sf \dfrac{42 \div 6}{60 \div 6}=\dfrac{7}{10}$

<h3><u>Question 7</u></h3>

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), first list the prime factors of each number:

80 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 5
272 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 17

80 and 272 share four 2s in common.

Multiply them together to get the GCF: 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16.

Therefore, 16 is the GCF of 80 and 272.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the found GCF:

$\implies \sf \dfrac{80 \div 16}{272 \div 16}=\dfrac{5}{17}$

Solve the following quadratic by factoring.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

4, -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can reverse the FOIL (First, outside, inside, last) method to break down the equation. The question is asking to solve by factoring so you want to find the right combination of numbers this equation can be broken down into:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Because we want x squared, x needs to be multiplied by itself, so we can put x in the first slot for each.

(x + or - ?) ( x + or - ?) = 0

Then we need to find numbers that could be added to get -3 and multiplied to get -4. The only set of numbers that works for this is -4 and 1. Note that the sign you put in front of each number has an impact on your answers. With this we get:

(x - 4) (x + 1) = 0

To test that this is equal to the original equation, simply multiply it out using FOIL.

x * x = x^2

x * 1 = x

x * -4 = -4x

-4 * 1 = -4

Putting each component into an equation:

x^2 + x - 4x - 4 = 0

Simplifying:

x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Once we are sure it is still the same equation, we find the solutions. We know 0 multiplied by anything equals 0, so to get 0 as the answer, one of the sets in the parentheses must equal 0. (It doesn't matter what the other one is as long is one equals 0)

Therefore, we have 2 solutions, 4, and -1 because if x is 4, 4-4 is 0 which solves the equation, and if x is -1, then -1 + 1 is 0 which also solves the equation.

You can also check your answers by plugging them back into the original equation.

If the lowest value of a data set increases what happens to the standard deviation

lara [203]

Answer:

It becomes lower

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because as the lowest value becomes larger, <em>one of the values becomes closer to the mean</em>, and as more numbers are closer to the mean, the standard deviation becomes lower.

Adiya said that the first step to solving the quadratic equation x2 + 6 = 20x by completing the square was to divide 6 by 2, squ

vivado [14]

Adiya’s method is not correct. To form a perfect square trinomial, the constant must be isolated on one side of the equation. Also, the coefficient of the term with an exponent of 1 on the variable is used to find the constant in the perfect square trinomial. Adiya should first get the 20x term on the same side of the equation as x2. Then she would divide 20 by 2, square it, and add 100 to both sides.
