What is the greatest common factor of the two expressions? 7a^2 8a^3b^2

Mathematics

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

A circle has a diameter with endpoints (-7, -1) and (-5, -9). What is the equation of the circle? r2 = (x + 6)2 + (y + 5)2 r2 =
Fantom [35]
Answer: (x + 6)² + (y + 5)² = 17

Explanation:

1)  The equation of a circle is: (x - a)² + (y - b)² = r², wnere:
a is the x-coordinate of the center of the circleb is the y-coordinate of the center of the circler is the radius of the circle
2) Since the points (-7,-1) and (-5,9) define a diameter, you can find the center of the circle as the mid point of the diameter:
x-coordinate of the mid point = (-7 - 5) / 2 = - 12 / 2 = - 6
y-coordinate of the mid point = (-9 - 1)/ 2 = - 10 / 2 = - 5

Therefore, the center of the circle is (-6,-5)

3) The radius of the center is half the diameter.
The length of the diameter is found using the formula for the distance between two points applied to the two endopoints given:
diameter² = (7 - 5)² + (- 1 + 9)² = 2² + 8² = 4 + 64 = 68

⇒diameter = √68 = 2√17

⇒ radius = diamter / 2 = 2√17 / 2 = √17

4) Now you can replace the coordinates of the center and the radius into the equation:
(x + 6)² + (y + 5)² = 17

Find the m2.
Lisa [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  d. m∠Q = 75 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. This triangle is marked to show it is an isosceles triangle, so the two base angles have the same measure.

  ∠P +∠Q +∠R = 180°

  x° +(2x +15)° +(2x +15)° = 180°

  5x = 150 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 30

  x = 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

  m∠Q = (2x +15)° = (2(30) +15)°

  m∠Q = 75°
