Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Meredith made a fatal mistake or error in step 2;

Any quadratic problem will always have two solutions. Therefore since, we only have one solution here, it is wrong. The mistake was incurred in step 2;

  From the given problem ;

    <u> Wrong                                                  right</u>

    2(x + 4)² = 242

    (x + 4)² = 121     Step 1  

     x+4=11              Step 2                  x + 4  = ± 11

     x  = 7                Step 3                  x + 4  = 11 or x + 4  = -11

                                                           x  = 11- 4     or    x  = -11 - 4

                                                           x  = 7 or -15

Please Help! Geometry!
OleMash [197]

Answer:

area = 22,272

Step-by-step explanation:

area = length * width

to calculate the width, we need the first segment using the pythagorean theorem

87^{2} + x^{2} = 145^{2}

7569 + x^{2}  = 21025

x^{2} = 13456

x = 116

length = 116 + 140 = 256

so

area = 87 * 256 = 22,272

Two numbers have prime factorizations of 2 2 · 3 · 5 and 2 · 3 2 · 7.
ladessa [460]
I think for the question above, instead of 2 · 3^2 · 7 it is <span>2 · 3^2 · 5.
</span>
Two numbers have prime factorizations of 2^2 • 3 • 5 and 2 • 3^2 • 5 (note 2 squared & 3 squared).

Now, to choose the GCF, you choose, for each base factor in either number, the least exponent-ed one; so the GCF needs a factor 2, a factor 3, and a factor 5. Thus the GCF is 30 (their product). [i.e,2 squared is not a common factor]

<span>To create the LCM, you choose, for each base factor in either number, the greatest exponented one. Thus, LCM needs a factor 2 squared, 3 squared, and 5, giving LCM = 4(9)(5) = 180.</span><span />
