Answer:

The answer is 6(7 + 12) ⇒ 1st answer

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number

- Ex: 4 × 5 = 20 ⇒ 4 and 5 are the factors of 20

- Factors of a number n are the numbers that can multiplied together

 to give the number n

- Ex: The factors of 6 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 because 1 × 6 = 6 and 2 × 3 = 6

- The distributive property lets you multiply a sum by multiplying each

  term separately and then add the products

- Ex: a(b + c) = ab + ac

* Lets solve the problem

- We want to find the greatest common factor in 42 + 72

∵ 42 = 1 × 42 , 2 × 21 , 3 × 14 , 6 × 7

∴ The factors of 42 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 14 , 21 , 42

∵ 71 = 1 × 72 , 2 × 36 , 3 × 24 , 4 × 18 , 6 × 12 , 8 × 9

∴ The factors of 72 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 18 , 24 , 36 , 72

- The common factors between 42 and 72 are the bold numbers

∵ The common factors between 42 and 72 are 1 , 2 , 3 , 6

∵ The greatest one of them is 6

∴ The greatest common factor of 42 and 72 is 6

- In the distributive property we have a number multiplying by a sum

 of two numbers

∵ 42 ÷ 6 = 7 and 72 ÷ 6 = 12

- We can write 42 + 72 as 6 × 7 + 6 × 12 and take 6 as a common factor

∵ 42 + 72 = 6 × 7 + 6 × 12

- Take 6 as a common factor

∴ 42 + 72 = 6(7 + 12)

29. Which of the following expressions will result in a real answer after being simplified? Select all that apply.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer: A, B, C, and E

Step-by-step explanation:

If both sides are real numbers, then the product will be a real number.

If in at least one of the sides we have a complex number, then the product will be real if:

The other number is zero.

The other number is the conjugate of the first.

This is when:

Suppose we have a number:

z = a + b*i

The conjugate will be:

w = a - b*i

And the product between them is:

(a + b*i)*(a - b*i) = a^2 + a*b*i - a*b*i + b^2 = a^2 + b^2

Then the options that will have a real answer are:

A. (4+5i)(4-5i) = 4^2 + 5^2 = 16 + 25 = 41

B. (4 + 91)*(41 - 9) = 3040

C. (3 + 2*i)*(3 -2*i) = 3^2 + 2^2 = 9 + 4 = 13

E. (312 + 7i)*(312 - 7i) = 312^2 + 7^2 = 97,393

a child lies on the ground and looks up at the top of a 14-ft tree nearby. the child is 7 ft away from the tree. what is the ang
iragen [17]

Answer:

63°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, the angle of elevation from the child to the top of the tree can be calculated using the tangent ratio.

Recall SOH-CAH-TOA from your Trigonometry class.

The tangent is opposite over adjacent.

\tan(A)  =  \frac{14}{7}

A =  \tan^{ - 1} ( 2)

A = 63.43 \degree

The angle of elevation is 63° to the nearest degree.
