Answer: The greatest common factor is 2.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the greatest common factor of the following expressions:

$E_1=4k,~~E_2=18k^4,~~E_3=12.$

<u>Greatest Common Factor:</u> The GCF of two or more numbers (expressions) is the greatest factor that divides all the numbers or expressions.

We have

$E_1=4k=2\times 2\times k,\\\\E_2=18k^4=2\times 3\times 3\times k\times k\times k\times k,\\\\E_3=12=2\times 2\times 3.$

Therefore, the greatest common factor will be

$G.C.F.=2.$

Thus, the required greatest common factor is 2.

Greatest common factor or GCF is the greatest factor that divides two numbers. So the get the greatest common factor of the 4k 18k and 12 you need to list the prime factors of each number then multiply both numbers have in common. So the greatest common factor of the numbers is 2

The bus fare in a city is $2.00. People who use the bus have the option of purchasing a monthly coupon book for $28.00. With the

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

56 = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Bus fare = $2.00

coupon book = 28.00

bus fare w/ coupon book = $1.00

let x be the number of bus rides.

2.00x = 1.00x + 28.00

2.00x - 1.00x = 28.00

1x = 28.00

x = 28.00

24 bus rides for both to have the same cost.

2.00x = 1.00x + 28

2.00(28) = 1.00(28) + 28

56 = 28 + 28

56 = 56

A polygon has the following coordinates: A(3,1), B(5,3), C(2,5), D(-1,5), E(-4,3), F(-2,1). Find the length of DC.

nlexa [21]

To find the length of a line given two points, we are going to use the distance formula, which is defined below:

$D = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$

( $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are the two points)

The points in this problem are (2, 5) and (-1, 5). We can find the distance of DC by substituting these values into the distance formula and simplifying, as shown below:

$D = \sqrt{(-1 - 2)^2 + (5 - 5)^2$
