What is the greatest common factor of the two expressions? 7a^2 8a^3b^2
1 answer:
Answer:
a²
Step-by-step explanation:
(see attached for reference)
We can find GCF by expressing each expression into their prime factors
7a² = 7 x a x a
8a³b² = 8 x a x a x a x b x b
by observation, we can see that a x a or a² shows up in both expressions, highlighted in bold here:
7a² = 7 x <em>a x a</em>
8a³b² = 8 x <em>a x a</em> x a x b x b
Hence the greatest common factor is a x a = a²

Step-by-step explanation:
From the table given in the question,
x y Difference Ratio
1 12 - -
2 36 36-12 = 24
3 108 108-36 = 72
4 324 324-108 = 216
5 972 972-324 = 648
There is a common ratio of 3 in each successive term.
Therefore, data given in the table will represent an exponential function.
For a point
------(1)
For another point of the table ,
--------(2)
Equation (2) divided by equation (1)
From equation (1),
Therefore, exponential function will be,
