Answer:

Option C is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to factor the GCF of the given expression:

-6x³y + 9x²y² - 12xy³

To get the GCF of the given expression we will find the factors of each term first.

Factors of 6x³y = 2 × 3 × (x) × (x) (x) (y)

Factors of 9x²y² = 3 × 3 × (x) (x) (y) (y)

Factors of 12xy³ = 2 × 2 × 3 × (x) (y) (y) (y)

So the common factor is 3 × (x) (y)

Now we will take out the GCF as a factor of the given expression = 3xy (-2x² + 3xy - 4y² )

= -3xy ( 2x² - 3xy + 4y² )

Option C is the answer.

Write 70 20 in lowest terms.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator. GCD of 70 and 20 is 10.

70 ÷ 1020 ÷ 10.

Reduced fraction: 72. Therefore, 70/20 simplified is 7/2.

The variable b varies directly as the square root of c. lf b= 100 when c=4, which equation can be used to find other combination

Alla [95]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If b varies directly as the square root of c, this is expressed as;

b∝√c

b = k√c

k is the constant of proportionality

Given b = 100 and c = 4

100 = k√4

100 = 2k

k = 100/2

k = 50

Substitute k = 50 into the original expression:

Recall that: b = k√c

b = 50√c

<em>hence equation that can be used to find other combinations of b and c is b = 50√c</em>
