Can two numbers have a GCF that is bigger than their LCM? Explain how you know?

1 answer:

7 0

The answer to this question would be: No, they can't

Greatest common factor biggest possible value is the number value itself. There is no factor that bigger than the number.

But the least common multiple smallest possible value is the number. There is no multiple that smaller than the number.

So it is not possible to have GCF bigger than LCM.

We can use quadratic formula to determine the roots of the given quadratic equation.

The quadratic formula is:

$x= \frac{-b+- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}$

b = coefficient of x term = 5
a = coefficient of squared term = 1
c = constant term = 7

Using the values, we get:

$x= \frac{-5+- \sqrt{25-4(1)(7)} }{2(1)} \\ \\ 
x= \frac{-5+- \sqrt{-3} }{2}$

So, the correct answer to this question are option E and F

Write an equation for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence. Then find a50. −29, −12, 5, 22, . . . an = a50 =

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

$\bold{a_n=17n+46}\\\\\bold{a_{50}=896}$

Step-by-step explanation:

−29, −12, 5, 22, ...

-12-(-29) = 17; 5-(-12) = 17; 22-5 = 17 ⇒ d = 17

first term: a = -29

difference: d = 17

so the formula:

$a_n=a+d(n-1)\\\\a_n=-29+17(n-1)\\\\a_n =-29+17n-17\\\\\underline{a_n=17n+46}$

and:

$a_{50}=17\cdot50+46=850+46 = 896$

It takes a plane 3.5 hours to fly 2,345 miles and 2 hours to fly 860 miles

Ilya [14]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

a. How fast does the plane fly during the first leg of the trip?

2345/3.5 = 670 mph

b. How fast does the plane fly during the last leg of the trip?

860/2 = 430 mph

c. What system of equations might be helpful in this scenario?

<u>s - speed of the plane, w - speed of the wind, equations:</u>

s + w = 670
s - w = 430

d. Solve this system of equations using the best method.

Add the equation together to get:

2s = 1100 ⇒ s = 550 mph
w = 550 - 430 = 120 mph

e. How fast is the wind?

120 mph as solved above

f. How fast does the plane fly without any wind?

550 mph as solved above
