GCF means greatest common factor and LCM means Least common multiple.

GCF is greatest common factor, for example the GCF of 4 (1, 2, 4) and 12 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12) is for because that is the biggest factor they have in common.

LCM is lowest common multiple, for example the LCM of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, etc.) and 12 (12, 24, 36, 48, 60, etc.) is 12 because that is the smallest multiple they have in common.

You really need to know the difference between a factor and a multiple to understand it.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer:

F, I only

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see this is a quadratic equation and c is the constant. What changes when we change the constant? It will change the h intercept which we can see is also known as a y intercept (the y axis is renamed as h).

You can also use graphs to visualize this, try changing the constant in the equation and you can see the y intercept change.

so the answer is F, I only.

An aquarium with a square base has no top. There is a metal frame. Glass costs 8 dollars/m^2 and the frame costs 7 dollars/m. Th

Irina-Kira [14]

Given that the volume of the aquarium is 20m^3.

Volume = Area of Base x height

Area of Base = Volume / height = 20/h

Given that the aquarium has a square base.

Area of square = l^2

Thus, the length of the base of the aquarium is $\sqrt{area \ of \ base} = \sqrt{ \frac{20}{h} }$

The frame is to cover 8 sides with the length equal to the length of the base and 4 sides with the length of the height.

Thus, the total perimeter of the frame is given by $8\sqrt{\frac{20}{h}}+4h= \sqrt{64\left(\frac{20}{h}\right)}+4h = \sqrt{\frac{1,280}{h}}+4h$

Area of the four side faces of the aquarium is 4 times the length of the base times the height = $4\times\sqrt{ \frac{20}{h} }\times h=\sqrt{16\left(\frac{20}{h}\right)h^2}=\sqrt{320h}$

Total area to be covered by grass is the base and the four side faces and is given by $\frac{20}{h}+\sqrt{320h}$

Cost of the entire metal frame = $7\left(\sqrt{\frac{1,280}{h}}+4h\right)= \sqrt{49\left(\frac{1,280}{h}\right)}+7(4h) = \sqrt{\frac{62,720}{h}}+28h$

Cost of the entire grass = $8\left(\frac{20}{h}+\sqrt{320h}\right)=\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{64(320h)}=\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{20,480h$

Therefore, total cost in terms of the height, h, is given by

$C=\sqrt{\frac{62,720}{h}}+28h+\frac{160}{h}+\sqrt{20,480h$

Estimate

Taya2010 [7]

126/10 would mean that from the original number, the decimal point is at 126.0 so when it is divided by 10, it will move over one placement, making it 12.6... I would estimate that your answer is C. 12.6
