What is the highest common factor of 27 and 36?

Hello there!

The highest common factor, also known as the greatest common factor, or GCF, is the biggest factor that both numbers have in common.

Let's factor out our numbers.

27;
1 x 27
3 x 9

36;
1 x 36
3 x 12
4 x 9
6 x 6

Both of these numbers have these in common:
1, 3, 9.

Since 9 is the highest number in common, it is our GCF or highest common factor.

I hope this helps!

Assume that the population of the world in 2017 was 7.6 billion and is growing at the rate of 1.12% a year. a) Set up a recurren

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a) $= 1.0112 a_{n-1}$

b) $= 7.6 . 1.0112^n$

c) $a_{33} = 10.97 billion$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Population in 2017 was 7.6 billion

r = 1.12%

a) population after n year 2017

It is given each year population rise at a rate of 1.12% Thus we have

$a_n = a_{n-1} + 1.12%.a_{n-1}$

$= a_{n-1} + 0.0112 a_{n-1}$

$= 1.0112 a_{n-1}$

b) $a_{n} = 1.0112 a_{n-1}$

$a_{n} = 1.0112 a_{n-1} = 1.011 ^1 a_{n-1}$

$a_{n} = 1.0112 a_{n-2} = 1.011 ^2 a_{n-2}$

$a_{n} = 1.0112 a_{n-3} = 1.011 ^3 a_{n-3}$

....

$= 1.0112^n a_{n-n}$

$= 1.0112^n a_{0}$

$= 7.6 . 1.0112^n$

c) for n = 33 year ( 2050- 2017 = 33 year)

$a_{33} = 7.6 \times 1.0112^33$

$a_{33} = 10.97 billion$

The sum of three consecutive even integers is 36. Let x represent the first integer, x + 2 represent the second integer, and x +

prisoha [69]

Let

x------> the first even integer

x+2---->the second even integer

x+3---->the third even integer

we know that

$x+(x+2)+(x+4)=36$ -----> equation that represent the situation

solve for x

Combine like terms in the left side

$(x+x+x)+(2+4)=36$

$3x+6=36$

therefore

<u>the answer is the option B</u>

$3x+6=36$
