Find the greatest common factor for the group of numbers. 12 , 28 , 24

1 answer:

8 0

The greatest common factor, or GCF, is quite self-explanatory. Between two numbers, you have to find the greatest number that can be divided by both numbers without any remainder. This is useful in solving addition and subtraction operations involving fractions. The technique to do this is to place the numbers to the right. Then, place the factors to the left. I'm gonna show the solution so that you can understand better.

4 | 12 28 24
----------------------
| 3 7 6
----------------------

Since all numbers can be divided by 4, you place it on the left side. Then, place the quotients on the next row below. Since, there is no more common factor, it ends with the 2nd row. Then, multiply all the left numbers with the numbers in the very last column.

GCF = 4×3×7×6
GCF = 504

Harman [31]

Shawntelle must be talking about the base (B) of the triangle. This is because the base area (B) of the pyramid is area, so the unit must be INCHES SQUARED, not inches. However, the base of the triangle is a one-dimensional line and so can be described by length in inches.

Answer: base of triangle

Expand and simplify (4+×)(5+×)

Minchanka [31]

For this, we use the FOIL method of expanding brackets; start by multiplying the FIRST terms of each bracket together to get xx=x^2. Next multiply the OUTSIDE elements, ie the first element in the first bracket and the last in the second, giving x(-5)=-5x. Then comes the INSIDE elements, giving 4x=4x, and finaly the LAST elements of each bracket, giving 4(-5)=-20. Adding all these terms together gives us our answer; x^2+4x-5x-20, which can be simplified to x^2-x-20.
Hope this helps!

Mr. Yueng graded his students’ math quizzes.

Artyom0805 [142]

For this case we must solve the following equation:

$x ^ 3 = 22$

If we apply cubic root to both sides of the equation, then we eliminate the exponent on the left side:

$\sqrt [3] {x ^ 3} = \sqrt [3] {22}\\x = \sqrt [3] {22}$

That is the exact solution of the equation. Its decimal solution is given by:

$x = \sqrt [3] {22} = 2.8020$

ANswer:

The solution to the equation is $x = \sqrt [3] {22} = 2.8020$

Scores for a civil service exam are normally distributed with a mean of 75 and a standard deviation of 6.5. To be eligible for c

kvasek [131]

Answer:

The lowest score you can earn and still be eligible for employment is 85.6925

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 75, \sigma = 6.5$
