Factoring has nothing to do with finding the least common denominator.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nadusha1986 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

  probably FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions is the least common multiple (LCM) of their denominators.

One of the ways to find the LCM of numbers is to factor them, then multiply the highest powers of each of the unique factors. Using this method makes your statement FALSE.

__

Another way to find the LCM is to multiply the numbers and divide that product by their greatest common denominator (GCD). Again, finding the GCD can involve factoring, as it is the product of all of the common factors of the numbers.

However, Euclid's algorithm is a method of finding the GCD that does not involve factoring. That is, it is entirely possible to find the LCM of two numbers without doing any factoring, per se. (Though, finding a divisor could be considered factoring.) Using this method makes your statement TRUE.

__

Our guess is that the desired answer is FALSE. Some methods of finding the LCD do involve factoring.

Answer:

A. 270

Step-by-step explanation:

30% can be rewritten as 3/10

To multiply 900 by 3/10, just divide by 10 (90) and multiply by 3 (270)

Therefore, the answer is A. 270

Bonus: To find the actual price, just subtract this amount (270) from the original price (900).

The television costs $630.

URGENT!!! The figure below shows two triangles EFG and KLM:
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Triangle EFG can also be proven to be a right triangle by using the following: D. Prove that KL is equal to c by Pythagorean Theorem.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the longest side of a right triangle, which is the hypotenuse (c²) equals the sum of the squares of the other two legs of the right triangle (a² + b²).

If we apply the Pythagorean theorem, we would find the length of KL. If KL has the same length as c in triangle EFG, then we can say that triangle EFG is also a right triangle.

Therefore, the answer is: D. Prove that KL is equal to c by Pythagorean Theorem.
