Two integers, a and b have product of -48 what is the greatest possible sum of a and b.

Mathematics

The factors of 48 are:
1 x 48
2 x 24
3 x 16
4 x 12
6 x 8
and visa versa:   48 x 1  etc.

To make the product negative, one of the factors has to be positive and one has to be negative.  To find the greatest sum, make the bigger number the positive factor and the smaller number the negative factor.  So, -1 x 48 = -48 and the sum of -1 + 48 = 47 which would be the greatest possible sum.

When the points below are connected, they will form triangle ABC. Show and state whether this triangle has a right angle or not.
cluponka [151]

Answer:

See explanartions below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates A(-6,3) B(0,5) C(2,-1)

We first need to get the slope of AB, BC and AC

For AB;

A(-6,3) B(0,5)

Mab = 5-3/0-(-6)

Mab = 2/6

Mab = 1/3

For BC;

B(0,5) C(2,-1)

Mbc = -1-5/2-0

Mbc = -6/2

Mc = -3

For AC:

A(-6,3) C(2,-1)

Mac = -1-3/2-(-6)

MAc = -4/8

Mac = -1/2

Taking the product of Mab and Mbc

Mab * Mbc = 1/3 + -3

Mab * Mbc = -1

<em>Since the product of Mab and Mbc is -1, hence AB abd BC are perpendicular showing that one of the angle of triangle ABC is 90 degrees</em>

Round each number to the nearest ten. What is the best estimate for the answer to 343.42 – 39.87?
Dafna11 [192]
The original answer for that question would be 303.55. The best estimate when you round to the nearest tenth the approximate answer would be 303.6 because the 5 in the hundredths place rounds the 5 in the tenths place to a 6. So the approximate answer would be 303.6....hope this helps.

A car traveled from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 6 hours at an average rate of x miles per hour. If the car returned along th
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

What we need to know simply is the time taken for both trips. We know the car spent 6 hours on the first leg, that is settled.

What we do not know is the time spent on the second leg. To get the time spent on the second leg of the journey, we only need to get the total distance divided by the speed.

We can get the distance using the first part of the question. The time is 6 hours and the speed is x miles per hour, the total distance is this 6x miles.

Now we need to know the time spent on the second leg of the journey. We know that the distance is the same. Hence the time spent is 6x/y where y is the speed for the second leg and 6x is the length of each leg

Now the total time spent is thus (6x/y +6) hours. We need to however convert this to minutes. We do this by multiplying by 60

(6x/y + 6) * 60
