Answer:

The coefficient in the expression is 1.2.

The greatest common factor is 1.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression $1.2k+2.4$

To find : Factor out the coefficient of the variable and find the greatest common factor ?

Solution :

Coefficient is defined as a number used to multiply a variable.

Variable is an unknown number represented by alphabet.

In the given expression, $1.2k+2.4$

The variable is 'k'.

As 1.2 is multiplied with k,

The coefficient in the expression is 1.2.

The greatest common factor is the common term in both terms,

$1.2k+2.4=1.2(k+2)$

The greatest common factor is 1.2.

Factor out the coefficient of the variable means use how any k's there are, as k is our variable. this is 1.2
the greatest common factor of 1.2 and 2.4 can be found easier by multiplying both by 10
= 12 and 24

then find the factors of these two numbers:
12 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
24 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

the common factors are:
1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12

the greatest of these factors is 12, and therefore the greatest common factor.
divide this answer by 10, as we multiplied it earlier.
so the greatest common factor of 1.2 and 2.4 is 1.2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the experimental probability, first we have to find total amount paint then to find the amount of good quality forever paint we have to subtract the amounts of other paints from total amount.

Let x represents the amount of good quality forever paint sold.

Total amount of paint $=48+45+35+39+33+x=200+x$ ...(i)

Experimental probability of paint sold will be better quality durable paint is

$P=\dfrac{\text{Amount of better quality durable paint}}{\text{Amount of total paint}}$

$P=\dfrac{45}{\text{Amount of total paint}}$

It is given that experimental probability of paint sold will be better quality durable paint is $\frac{9}{50}.$

$\frac{9}{50}=\dfrac{45}{\text{Amount of total paint}}$

$\text{Amount of total paint}=\dfrac{45\times 50}{9}$

$\text{Amount of total paint}=250$ ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

$200+x=250$

$x=250-200$

$x=50$

Therefore, 50 gallons good quality forever paint is sold.

What is the average rate of change of the function f(x)=5(2)^x from x = 1 to x = 5?

Mila [183]

Average rate of change refers to the slope of a function/equation.
To solve this, plug in for both x values and calculate the average, or mean.

x = 1
f(1) = 5(2)^1
= 5(2)
= 10

x = 5
f(5) = 5(2)^5
= 5(32)
= 160

Now, you calculate the average:
10 + 160 = 170
Divide by 2 and you get 85.

Which of the following equations is an example of inverse variation between variables x and y ?

Mademuasel [1]

The option C) y = 15/x

a) y = 15 x is an example of direct variation, with proportionality constant = 15

b) is an example of linear variation (it is the equation of a straight line that does not pass through the origin)

c) y = 15/x => y*x = 15 = constant which is the characteristic of an inverse relation

d) y = x/15 is an example of an inverse relation, with proportion constant = 1/15
