Hey!

---------------------------------------------

Solution:

Find the Highest Common Factor of 8, 12, and 20.

Highest Common Factor = 4

Divide.

8 / 4 = 2

12 / 4 = 3

20 / 4 = 5

4 symbolizes the amount of baskets there are.

---------------------------------------------

Answer:

2 banana's per basket.

3 apple's per basket.

5 orange's per basket.

---------------------------------------------

There is no possible way that there can be the same amount of fruit in each basket.

---------------------------------------------

Can I have some help, please?

Answer:

$-3(t+1)(8t-3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, factor both the denominators completely:

$9-24t\\= 3(3-8t)\\= 3(-8t+3)\\= -3(8t-3)$

$8t^2+5t-3\\= 8t^2+8t-3t-3\\= 8t(t+1)-3(t+1)\\= (8t-3)(t+1)$

Now, we can see that the factors of the first denominator are -3 and 8t-3.

The factors of the second denominator are t+1 and 8t-3.

To find the LCD, multiply all of these factors together:

$-3(t+1)(8t-3)$

Notice how we only multiply 8t-3 in the equation once. This is because it was present in both denominators, unlike the other factors.

I hope this helps!

Given the function<br> Calculate the following values:<br> f( - 1) =<br> f(0)<br> f(2)=

Alecsey [184]

-1 is less than 0, so you use the first equation:

3(-1) +2 = -3+2 = -1

f(-1) = -1

For 0 use the 2nd equation:

3(0) + 4 = 0+4 = 4

f(0) = 4

For 2 use the 2nd equation:

3(2) + 4 = 6+4 = 10

f(2) = 10

Given the first term and the common ratio of a geometric sequence find the explicit formula.

lisov135 [29]

A geometric sequence is generated by multiplying the first term in the sequence, $a_1$ , several times by a fixed scalar $r$ . So

$a_2=a_1r$

$a_3=a_2r=a_1r^2$

$a_4=a_3r=a_1r^3$

and so on, down to

$a_n=a_{n-1}r=a_{n-2}r^2=\cdots=a_1r^{n-1}$

Using the result above, the sequences you're interested in are

31) $a_n=-(-2)^{n-1}$

33) $a_n=4(-4)^{n-1}$

We can rewrite these results to make them slightly cleaner.

$-(-2)^{n-1}=-(-1)^{n-1}2^{n-1}=(-1)^n2^{n-1}$

$4(-4)^{n-1}=4(-1)^{n-1}4^{n-1}=(-1)^{n-1}4^n$

Describe two methods for finding the sale price of an item that is discounted 30%. which method do you prefer? Explain.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

One can take the price of the item before the discount is applied and subtract that from the percentage off and get the cost of the item.

I find this is the most effective way.

another method could be if one turned the percentage into a decimal it could be subtracted from the cost of the item.

Answer:

$\$11.13$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the surface area of the cylinder

The surface area of the cylinder is equal to

$SA=\pi r^{2} +2\pi rh$

we have

$r=3/2=1.5\ in$ ----> the radius is half the diameter

$h=5\ in$

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$SA=(3.14)(1.5)^{2} +2(3.14)(1.5)(5)=54.165\ in^{2}$

<em>Find the cost</em>

$54.165*(0.75)=\$40.62$

step 2

Find the surface area of the square prism

The surface area of the prism is equal to

$SA=b^{2} +4bh$

we have

$b=3\ in\\ h=5\ in$

substitute

$SA=(3)^{2} +4(3)(5)=69\ in^{2}$

<em>Find the cost</em>

$69*(0.75)=\$51.75$

step 3

Find the difference of costs

$\$51.75-\$40.62=\$11.13$
