Solution

For this case we can do the following:

A) 15, 21

LCM= 105

15= 3*5

21 = 7*3

LCM= 3*5*7

b) 15,30

LCM= 30

15= 3*5

30 = 2*5

LCM= 2*3*5= 30

c) 24,72

LCM= 72

24= 2*3*4

72= 2* 2*2*3*3

LCM= 2*2*2*3*3

d) 16,42

LCM= 336

16= 2*2*4

42= 2*3*7

LCM= 2*2*3*7*4

e) 8,30

LCM=120

8= 2*4

30= 2*3*5

LCM= 2*3*4*5=120

f) 18,30

LCM=90

18= 2*3*3

90= 2*5*3*3

LCM= 2*5*3*3

g) 8,16,20

LCM= 80

8= 2*2*2

16= 2*2*2*2

20= 2*2*5

LCM= 2*2*2*2*5

How can you solve standard form and intercept form?

laiz [17]

Answer:

The standard form of such an equation is Ax + By + C = 0 or Ax + By = C. When you rearrange this equation to get y by itself on the left side, it takes the form y = mx +b. This is called slope intercept form because m is equal to the slope of the line, and b is the value of y when x = 0, which makes it the y-intercept.

Simplify these expressions. a.2r+3+4r. b.8+3d+d. c.mn+ (-3mm)+6 d. 10s + (-10) + (-4s)

Maru [420]

Step-by-step explanation:

Combine like terms

a. 2r + 3 + 4r = (2r + 4r) + 3 = 6r + 3

b. 8 + 3d + d = (3d + d) + 8 = 4d + 8

c. mn + (-3mn) + 6 = (mn - 3mn) + 6 = -2mn + 6

d. 10s + (-10) + (-4s) = (10s - 4s) - 10 = 14s - 10

Terms are called "like terms" if they have the same variable part (the same letters in the same powers). Like terms differ at most coefficient.

Suppose a parabola has vertex (6,5) and also passes through the point (7,7). Write the equation of the parabola in vertex form.

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Choice B: $y = 2\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For a parabola with vertex $(h,\, k)$ , the vertex form equation of that parabola in would be:

$\text{$y = a\, (x - h)^{2} + k$ for some constant $a$}$ .

In this question, the vertex is $(6,\, 5)$ , such that $h = 6$ and $k = 5$ . There would exist a constant $a$ such that the equation of this parabola would be:

$y = a\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .

The next step is to find the value of the constant $a$ .

Given that this parabola includes the point $(7,\, 7)$ , $x = 7$ and $y = 7$ would need to satisfy the equation of this parabola, $y = a\, (x - 6)^{2} + 5$ .
