How do you find and use the greatest common factor of two whole numbers

1 answer:

7 0

For example you have the 52, and you have the 24, you look for a number that can go into both that is the largest possible for my example it would be 4 since no number greater can go into both, while 2 would be a option it would not be the greatest.

KEVIN'S GAS TANK IS 1/6 FULL. AFTER HE BUYS 14 GALLONS OF GAS, IT IS 3/4 FULL. HOW MANY GALLONS CAN KEVIN'S TANK HOLD?

Reika [66]

$\frac 1 6 t + 14 = \frac 3 4 t$

$14 = (\frac 3 4 - \frac 1 6)t = (\frac 9{12} - \frac{2}{12}) t = \frac {7}{12} t$

$t = \frac{12}{7} (14) = 24$

Answer: 24 gallons

Check: (1/6)24=4, 4+14=18, 18/24=3/4, good

If f is a linear function, f(k)=16 and f(-k)= -4 then what is the value of f(0)?

ira [324]

f(0) = ( f(k) +f(-k) ) / 2

f(0) = (16 - 4) / 2

f(0) = 12 / 2

f(0) = 6 → ANSWER

*Remember that f(0) = m(0) + n = n

If we have f(x) = mx + n, then:

f(k)= mk + n and f(-k)= -mk + n

If we add them:

f(k) + f(-k)

= mk + n -mk + n

= 2n

= 2f(0)

So we conclude that:

f(0) = [f(k) + f(-k)] / 2
