Well to do this, we need to know the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8. Lets list the factors out.
6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36
8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48
As we can see, the least common multiple of 6 and 8 is 24.
Now we know that there are 8 plates per package and 8 goes into 24 3 times, so naturally Shaniya needs 3 packages of plates
Hope this helped!!! :)
Answer:300,000
Step-by-step explanation: if the 4 was a 5 or higher then the answer would’ve been 400,00 but since the number next to the underlined digit is 4 then it goes to 300,00. (4 or below leave it alone 5 or above give it a shove)
You get (2x+3)(4x^2-6x+9) when you factor 8x^3+27=0. You just divide by 3 to simplify it.
In order to do this, you must first find the "cross product" of these vectors. To do that, we can use several methods. To simplify this first, I suggest you compute:
‹1, -1, 1› × ‹0, 1, 1›
You are interested in vectors orthogonal to the originals, which don't change when you scale them. Using 0,-1,1 is much easier than 6s and 7s.
So what methods are there to compute this? You can review them here (or presumably in your class notes or textbook):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_produ...
In addition to these methods, sometimes I like to set up:
‹1, -1, 1› • ‹a, b, c› = 0
‹0, 1, 1› • ‹a, b, c› = 0
That is the dot product, and having these dot products equal zero guarantees orthogonality. You can convert that to:
a - b + c = 0
b + c = 0
This is two equations, three unknowns, so you can solve it with one free parameter:
b = -c
a = c - b = -2c
The computation, regardless of method, yields:
‹1, -1, 1› × ‹0, 1, 1› = ‹-2, -1, 1›
The above method, solving equations, works because you'd just plug in c=1 to obtain this solution. However, it is not a unit vector. There will always be two unit vectors (if you find one, then its negative will be the other of course). To find the unit vector, we need to find the magnitude of our vector:
|| ‹-2, -1, 1› || = √( (-2)² + (-1)² + (1)² ) = √( 4 + 1 + 1 ) = √6
Then we divide that vector by its magnitude to yield one solution:
‹ -2/√6 , -1/√6 , 1/√6 ›
And take the negative for the other:
‹ 2/√6 , 1/√6 , -1/√6 ›
