Do you remember when you were learning about
Least Common Multiple (LCM) ?  And you were
wondering what on Earth you would ever need it for ?

THIS IS IT !

The amount of time after 8 PM when the lights will flash
together again is the LCM of 20 seconds and 30 seconds.
Do you remember how to find it ?

... When 20 is prime-factored, you have  2 · 2 · 5 .

... When 30 is prime-factored, you have  2 · 3 · 5 .

... So the Least Common Multiple of 20 and 30 is  2 · 2 · 3 · 5  =  60 .

The lighthouses will flash together again in 60 seconds after 8 PM.
That'll be  8:01 PM.

If point A is located at (-3,-1) and there are 10 points between A and B, what could be the possible coordinates for point B?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By drawing the point (-3,-1) in the coordinate plane we find the graph shown below. Since there are 10 points between points A and B, we need to start at point A and then we have to move 11 units either to the right, to the left, up, or down .

1. MOVING TO THE RIGHT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the right to come to point B:

(-3+11, -1) = (8, -1)

2. MOVING TO THE LEFT:

From point A, move 11 units horizontally to the left to come to point B:

(-3-11, -1) = (-14, -1)

3. MOVING UPWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically upward to come to point B:

(-3, -1+11) = (-3, 10)

4. MOVING DOWNWARD:

From point A, move 11 units vertically downward to come to point B:

(-3, -1-11) = (-3, -12)

So this are the basic movements you can get to find point B. You also can move diagonally upwards or downwards  in whose case you would find other four points. The graph below shows a red point which is A, and the other points are in black color and represent B.

The surface area, S, of a sphere of radius r feet is S = S(r) = 4πr^2. Find the instantaneous rate of change of the surface area
vesna_86 [32]
This is the derivative of S with respect to r, evaluated at r=8.
dS/dr = 8πr
Substituting r=8 into the above gives the answer of 64π.
