Write the prime factorization of each number using exponents: 56 = ? 68 = ?

1 answer:

6 0

Make a factoring tree: 56 is 7 x 8. You can break 8 down into three 2s, therefore, 8 is equal to 2^3. 7 is already prime, so the answer is 2^3 x 7.
Same thing for 68: factored = 2 x 34 = 2 x 2 x 17
2^2 x 17 is the answer.

Which equation represents a line that passes through (4,1/3) and has a slope of 3/4?

velikii [3]

We can use the point-slope equation:
$y = mx + b$
m, the slope, is 3/4:
$y = \frac{3}{4} x + b$
To find b, we plug in the point (4,1/3):
$( \frac{1}{3} ) = \frac{3}{4} (4) + b \\ \frac{1}{3} = 3 + b \\ \frac{1}{3} = \frac{9}{3} + b$
$- \frac{8}{3} = b$

Therefore, the point-slope equation is
$y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{8}{3}$

Now we have to see which answer matches.

$y - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{3} (x - 4) \\ y - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{4}{3} \\ y - \frac{9}{12} = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{16}{12}$
$y = \frac{1}{3} x - \frac{7}{12}$
Since this is not the same, we try the next one.

$y - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{4} (x - 4) \\ y - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{4} x - 3 \\ y - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{9}{3}$
$y = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{8}{3}$

This is the same, so this is the answer. We should still double-check the other answers.

$y - \frac{1}{3} = 4(x - \frac{3}{4} ) \\ y - \frac{1}{3} = 4x - 3 \\ y - \frac{1}{3} = 4x - \frac{9}{3}$
$y = 4x - \frac{8}{3}$
This one is not equivalent.

$y - 4 = \frac{3}{4} (x - \frac{1}{3} ) \\ y - 4 = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{1}{4} \\ y - \frac{16}{4} = \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{1}{4}$
$y = \frac{3}{4} x + \frac{15}{4}$
This one also does not work.

The answer is the second one:
$y - \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{4} (x - 4)$
