Answer:

Sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

A Composite number is the number which is not prime except 1. Hence, it has factors other than 1 and itself.

GCF is a greatest common factor i.e. the greatest factor that divides two numbers.

The GCF of two numbers can be composite number.

Example:

GCF of 8 and 24 = 8 which is a composite number.

GCF of 6 and 21 = 3 which is not a composite number.

Thus, GCF two numbers is sometimes a composite number.

What is the solution of the equation 3x − 7 = 4x? -7 -1 1 7

gogolik [260]

The solution of this equation is -7.
3x - 7 = 4x
3x - 7 - 4x = 0
3x - 4x - 7 = 0
-x - 7 = 0
-x = 7
x = -7

When do you get an answer to a system of linear equations that has one solution, no solution and infinitely many solutions?

meriva

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One solution: when two lines intersect in exactly one point.

Infinitely many solutions: When one of two lines can be shown algebraically to be exactly the same as the other. The two lines coincide.

No solution: The two lines have the same slope but different y -intercepts. They can't and don't intersect.

A media company wants to track the results of his new marketing plan so the video production manager recorded the number of use

Answer:

$f(x)=5120(5)^{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the image, f(x) and x are rlated by

$f(x)=a( {b})^{x}$

where b is the common ratio

We first find the value for b

$\frac{6400}{5120}= 5$

$\frac{8000}{6400}= 5$

$\frac{10000}{8000} = 5$

$\frac{12500}{10000} = 5$

$\frac{15625}{12500}=5$

so we can say the common ratio, b=5

we put in any value of f(x) and the corresponding value for x to find a value

Let put x=0 and f(x)=5120

This implies that

$5120 = a(5)^{0}$

but

$5^{0} = 1$

Hence a=5120

Thus the equation which model the relationship between the weeks and the viewers is

$f(x)=5120(5)^{x}$
