Answer:
Factors can be defined as a number or algebraic expression which divide the dividend without leaving any reminder.
The GCF stands for greatest common factor. To represent a sum by its GCF we need to use the distributive property and we need to first find the GCF of the numbers. Let's break each number by its factors:
We now multiply the numbers that appear on both.
We now apply the distributive property:
IF IT EQUALS 0
1. find two number that multiplied to 48 and adds to 14, which are 6 and 8.
2. substitute the new numbers in with x to get x^2 + 6x + 8x + 48.
3. factor out the x and the 8 to get x(x+6)+8(x+6).
4. x = -6, x = -8
IF IT DOES NOT EQUAL 0
then (x+6)*(x+8) is your answer.
Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.
