Answer:

14, 2 and -8 all can be divided by the greatest number, 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do not want a decimal number for each, then first you would choose an even number. Odd numbers will likely make 14, 2 and -8 a decimal.

Dividing by 1 makes the numbers 14, 2 and -8. 1 is an odd number, but it does not affect any of the numbers. However, there may be a better number.

Dividing by 2 makes the numbers 7, 1 and -4. So far this number works to divide them all.

Dividing by 4 makes the numbers 3.5, 0.5 and -2. Only one number is not a decimal, so this does not work.

Dividing by 6 makes the numbers 2.333..., 0.333... and -1.333... All of these numbers are decimals. This will not work either.

We can conclude that any number greater than 2 will not make all the numbers whole. They will be made irrational and decimal.

So 2 is the greatest number that can divide into all of the numbers.

A test was given to a group of students. The grades and gender are summarized below A B C TotalMale 5 9 2 16Female 7 11 12 30Tot

faust18 [17]

Probability that the student got a 'C' GIVEN they are female = number of females that got a C in the test/number of females

From the information given,

number of females that got a C in the test = 12

number of females = 30

Thus,

Probability that the student got a 'C' GIVEN they are female = 12/30

We would simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 6. Thus,

Probability that the student got a 'C' GIVEN they are female = 2/5

I have a ribbon 5/7 of a foot. I want to cut it in 5/12 pieces. How many pieces can I cut 5/7 divided by 5/12= 5/7 x5/12= 15/7 p

Otrada [13]

100 cm = 1 meter
<span>4.5 meter x 100 cm = 450 cm </span>

<span>450 cm / 4.5 cm = number of pieces of ribbon </span>

<span>450/4.5 = 100</span>

A company that manufactures storage bins for grains made a drawing of a silo. The silo has a conical base, as shown below:

sasho [114]

To find the volume of this storage bin, you will use the formula for volume of a cylinder and of a cone.

V = Bh (cylinder)
Pi x r^2 x h
Pi x 2^2 x 10

V = 1/3 x pi x r^2 x h
1/3 x pi x 2^2 x 3

All of these choices show correct answers!

Answer:

$\displaystyle x=\left \{\frac{2\pi}{3}+2\pi k,\frac{4\pi}{3}+2\pi k, \frac{8\pi}{3}+2\pi k, \frac{10\pi}{3}+2\pi k\right \}k\in \mathbb{Z}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We want to solve for $x$ in:

$4\sin^2(\frac{x}{2})=3$

Since $x$ is in the argument of $\sin^2$ , let's first isolate $\sin^2$ by dividing both sides by 4:

$\displaystyle \sin^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\frac{3}{4}$

Next, recall that $\sin^2x$ is just shorthand notation for $(\sin x)^2$ . Therefore, take the square root of both sides:

$\displaystyle \sqrt{\sin^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}},\\\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}}$

Simplify using $\displaystyle \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}}$ :

$\displaystyle \sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}},\\\sin\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)=\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{4}}=\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Let $\phi = \frac{x}{2}$ .

<h3><u>Case 1 (positive root):</u></h3>

$\displaystyle \sin(\phi)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\\\phi = \frac{\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z}, \\\\\phi =\frac{2\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z}$

Therefore, we have:

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{2}=\phi = \frac{\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z}, \\\\\frac{x}{2}=\phi =\frac{2\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z},\\\\\begin{cases}x=\boxed{\frac{2\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z}},\\x=\boxed{\frac{4\pi}{3}+2\pi k , k \in \mathbb{Z}}\end{cases}$

<h3><u>Case 2 (negative root):</u></h3>

$\displaystyle \sin(\phi)=-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2},\\\phi = \frac{4\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z}, \\\\\phi =\frac{5\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z},\\\begin{cases}x=\boxed{\frac{8\pi}{3}+2\pi k, k\in \mathbb{Z}},\\x=\boxed{\frac{10\pi}{3}+2\pi k , k \in \mathbb{Z}}\end{cases}$
