<h3>What is the greatest common factor of 15x³y² and 20x⁴y⁴? </h3>

First we have to find the factors of 15x³y²

15x³y² = 3 * 5x³y²

Then we have to find the factors of 20x⁴y⁴

20x⁴y⁴ = 2²x¹y² * 5x³y²

Now we have to find the common factors to both numbers.

The common factors are 5x³y²

Answer : GCF = (15x³y²,20x⁴y⁴) = 5x³y²

Hope this helps!

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the two numbers and take the positive value ( since distance is positive)

-8/5 - (-3/5)

-8/5 + 3/5

-5/5

-1

Taking the positive value, 1

How do i do this ???

Westkost [7]

a peculiar thing about the centroid of a triangle, is that it cuts all the medians in a 2:1 ratio, so JP : PM are on a 2:1 ratio, thus

$\bf JP:PM\qquad 2:1\qquad \cfrac{JP}{PM}=\cfrac{2}{1}\implies \cfrac{27}{PM}=\cfrac{2}{1}\implies \cfrac{27}{2}=PM\\\\-------------------------------\\\\JM=JP+PM\implies JM=27+\cfrac{27}{2}\implies JM=\cfrac{54+27}{2}\\\\\\JM=\cfrac{81}{2}\implies JM=40\frac{1}{2}$

points a,b and c are collinear on AC, and AB:BC=3/4. A is located at (x,y), B is located at (4,1), and c is located at (12,5). w

We have two unknowns: x and y. Now, we have to formulate 2 equations. The first would come from the use of the given ratio:

We use the distance formula to find the distance between coordinates:

3/4 = √[(x-4)²+(y-1)²] / √[(4-12)²+(1-5)²]
√[(x-4)²+(y-1)²] = 3√5
(x-4)²+(y-1)² = 45
x² - 8x + 16 + y² - 2y + 1 = 45
x² - 8x + y² - 2y = 28 --> eqn 1

The second equation must come from the equation of a line:
y = mx +b
m = (5-1)/(12-4) = 1/2

Substitute y=5 and x=12 for point (12,5)
5 = (1/2)(12) + b
b = -1

So, the second equation is

y = 1/2x -1 or x = 2 + 2y --> eqn 2

Solving the equations simultaneously:
(2 + 2y)² - 8(2 + 2y) + y² - 2y = 28
Solving for y,
y = -2
x = 2+2(-2) = -2

Therefore, the coordinates of point A is (-2,-2).

4. Which operation should be completed first in the expression below? Use PEMDAS to evaluate. 24 ÷ (12 – 8) x 6 + 3 a. Add b. Su

irinina [24]

Answer:

Option b - Subtract

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression $24\div(12-8)\times 6+3$

To find : Which operation should be completed first in the expression below?

Solution :

P - Parentheses

E - Exponent

D - Divide

M - Multiplication

A - Addition

S - Subtraction

In the first step we solve the bracket in the expression $24\div(12-8)\times 6+3$

So, we do subtraction i.e. 12-8=4

Therefore, option b is correct.
