First, do the prime factorization.

96 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

The GCF is the product of their shared factors.

They share 2, 2, 2, and 3.

2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.

Their GCF is 24.

Which represents the inverse of the function f(x) = 4x? h(x) = x + 4 h(x) = x – 4 h(x) = three-quartersx h(x) = one-quarterx

aalyn [17]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=h(x)=\dfrac{1}{4}x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=4x\to y=4x\\\\\text{exchange}\ x\ \text{to}\ y\to x=4y\\\\\text{solve for}\ y:\\\\4y=x\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\\dfrac{4y}{4}=\dfrac{x}{4}\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{4}x$

For what value of c is the function defined below continuous on (-\infty,\infty)?

kozerog [31]

$f(x)= \left \{ {{x^2-c^2,x \ \textless \ 4} \atop {cx+20},x \geq 4} \right
$

It's clear that for x not equal to 4 this function is continuous. So the only question is what happens at 4.
A function, f, is continuous at x = 4 if
 $\lim_{x \rightarrow 4} \ f(x) = f(4)$

In notation we write respectively
 $\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) \ \ \ \text{ and } \ \ \ \lim_{x \rightarrow 4+} f(x)$

Now the second of these is easy, because for x > 4, f(x) = cx + 20. Hence limit as x --> 4+ (i.e., from above, from the right) of f(x) is just 4c + 20.

On the other hand, for x < 4, f(x) = x^2 - c^2. Hence
$\lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} f(x) = \lim_{x \rightarrow 4-} (x^2 - c^2) = 16 - c^2$

Thus these two limits, the one from above and below are equal if and only if
4c + 20 = 16 - c²
Or in other words, the limit as x --> 4 of f(x) exists if and only if
4c + 20 = 16 - c²

$c^2+4c+4=0
\\(c+2)^2=0
\\c=-2$

That is to say, if c = -2, f(x) is continuous at x = 4.

Because f is continuous for all over values of x, it now follows that f is continuous for all real nubmers $(-\infty, +\infty)$

Here’s another one I don’t understand, please give me the answer and explain how you got it

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

39 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of a straight line is 180 degrees. This is constant and will never change. You will add 57 and 84 to get 141 degrees for <LMP. Take 180-141 to get 39 degrees for <PMN
