A greatest common factor is the largest number that goes into two or more numbers (in this case two). To find the GCF of two numbers, we have to find the prime factorization (how to express a number as a product of prime numbers) and then see which numbers are common in both of the prime factorizations.

11. The prime factorization of 12 is 3 * 2 * 2. The prime factorization of 18 is 3 * 3 * 2. Looking at the prime factorizations, we can see that both of them have 3 and 2. That means that the GCF is 3 * 2 which is 6.

12. The prime factorization of 48 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3. The prime factorization of 80 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5. We see that the numbers shared are 2, 2, 2, and 2. That means that the GCF is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 or 16.

Problem 11.

12 = 2^2 * 3

18 = 2 * 3^2

Common factors with lower exponent: 2, 3

GCF = 2 * 3 = 6

11. Answer: 6

Problem 12.

48 = 2^4 * 3

80 = 2^4 * 5

Common factors with lower exponent: 2^4

GCF = 2^4 = 16

12. Answer: 16

Answer:

y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The similarity statement $ABCD \sim WXYZ$ tells you which vertex from the first polygon corresponds to which vertex from the second polygon.

A is paired with W, B is paired with X, C is paired with Y, D is paired with Z.

The expression <em>y</em> + 2 is placed along side WZ which corresponds to side AD in the first polygon.

Now locate two sides, one from each polygon, that are labeled with just <u>numbers</u>. That way, you'll be able to tell what the proportion is between the two shapes.

AB and WX correspond and are labeled 5 and 3, respectively.

Now you can write a proportion:

$\frac{WX}{AB}=\frac{WZ}{AD}\\\\\frac{3}{5}=\frac{y+2}{15}$

Use the Means-Extremes Property ("cross multiply").

$5(y+2)=3(15)\\\\5y+10=45\\\\5y=35\\\\y=7$

Factor completely <br> 4(x+1)^2/3 + 12(x+1)^-1/3

$\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
\left.\qquad \qquad \right.\textit{negative exponents}\\\\
a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}
\qquad \qquad
\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}
\qquad \qquad 
a^{{{ n}}}\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-{{ n}}}}
\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
%4(x+1)^2/3 + 12(x+1)^-1/3
4(x+1)^{\frac{2}{3}}+12(x+1)^{-\frac{1}{3}}\implies 4(x+1)^{\frac{2}{3}}+12\cfrac{1}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}
\\\\\\$

$\bf 4(x+1)^{\frac{2}{3}}+\cfrac{12}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\impliedby \textit{so, our LCD is }(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4(x+1)^{\frac{2}{3}}\cdot (x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}+12}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\implies \cfrac{4(x+1)^{\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}}+12}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4(x+1)^{\frac{3}{3}}+12}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\implies \cfrac{4(x+1)+12}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\implies \cfrac{4x+4+12}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{4x+16}{(x+1)^{\frac{1}{3}}}\implies \cfrac{4(x+4)}{\sqrt[3]{x+1}}$
