The factors of a number are <em>all of the positive whole numbers that go into it evenly</em>. For example, 2 is a factor of 6 because 6 ÷ 2 = 3, or equivalently, 6 = 2 x 3. Note that this naturally implies that every whole number has 1 and itself as a factor.
The numbers that go evenly into 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24. For 27, those numbers are 1, 3, 9, and 27.
The <em>common factors </em>between two numbers are numbers that go into <em>both </em>numbers evenly. Looking through the lists for 24 and 27, we see that 1 and 3 are their common factors. The <em>greatest</em> common factor is, of course, the largest of these, so the greatest common factor of 24 and 27 is 3.
(2,4), (4,8), (3,6), (5,10) because they’re all ratios of 1:2
Answer:
C. x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to do this is to first take out GCF
6(x² - x - 12)
Then we factor
6(x - 4)(x + 3)
We can now see our answer.
Answer:
D. It will increase by 1%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
--- initial rate
--- final rate
Required
The effect on the GDP
To calculate this, we make use of:

This gives:




<em>This implies that the GDP will increase by 1%</em>
Answer:
- g(2.95) ≈ -1.8; g(3.05) ≈ -0.2
- A) tangents are increasing in slope, so the tangent is below the curve, and estimates are too small.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The linear approximation of g(x) at x=b will be ...
g(x) ≈ g'(b)(x -b) +g(b)
Using the given relations, this is ...
g'(3) = 3² +7 = 16
g(x) ≈ 16(x -3) -1
Then the points of interest are ...
g(2.95) ≈ 16(2.95 -3) -1 = -1.8
g(3.05) ≈ 16(3.05 -3) -1 = -0.2
__
(b) At x=3, the slope of the curve is increasing, so the tangent lies below the curve. The estimates are too small. (Matches description A.)
