Find the sum of the distinct prime factors of $5^5 - 5^3$.

Mathematics
1 answer:
grin007 [14]2 years ago
5 0

The prime factorization is $2016=2^5\times3^2\times7$. Since the problem is only asking us for the distinct prime factors, we have $2,3,7$. Their desired sum is then $\boxed{\textbf{(B) }12}$.

Can someone please explain to me how to work this out?
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the way i work it out is if you take the product and power it to the third you can easily find out which answer is correct. another way, if you don't have a calculator is to look at the last digit in the number in the square root sign.

For example, 3 square root 64 equals 8. you would look at the 4 and try to find 3 numbers that end in 4 OR is divisible three times by the number. 64 is exactly divisible by 4 only 3 times so you know that it can't be 8.

hope this helps!

The base of a triangle is 7 inches more than 4 times the height. If the area of the triangle is 93 square inches, find the base
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height = h

Let the base = 4h + 7

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h

Area = 93 square inches

1/2 * (4h + 7)* h = 93            Multiply both sides by 2

(4h + 7) * h = 93*2

(4h + 7)*h = 186                    Remove the brackets

4h^2 + 7h = 186                   Subtract 186 from both sides.

4h^2 + 7h - 186 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve

a = 4

b = 7

c = - 186

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(7^2 - 4*4*(-186) ) /2*4

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 - 16*(-186)) / 8

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(49 + 2976)) / 8

x1 = (-7 + sqrt(3025)) / 8

x1 = (-7 +55 ) / 8

x1 = (48)/8

x1 = 6

There is another root, but it has to be minus and therefore cannot be used as a length. x2 = - 7.75

h = 6

b = 4*6 + 7 = 31

Check

Area = 1/2 * b * h

Area = 1/2 * 31 * 6

Area = 1/2 *186

Area = 93 which is what we were given so the answer is correct.

Why does using FOIL on polynomial expressions match so closely to integer multiplication?
dezoksy [38]
<span> FOIL is a mnemonic rule for multiplying binomial (that is, two-term) algebraic expressions. </span>
<span>FOIL abbreviates the sequence "First, Outside, Inside, Last"; it's a way of remembering that the product is the sum of the products of those four combinations of terms. </span>

<span>For instance, if we multiply the two expressions </span>
<span>(x + 1) (x + 2) </span>
<span>then the result is the sum of these four products: </span>
<span>x times x (the First terms of each expression) </span>
<span>x times 2 (the Outside pair of terms) </span>
<span>1 times x (the Inside pair of terms) </span>
<span>1 times 2 (the Last terms of each expression) </span>
<span>and so </span>
<span>(x + 1) (x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + 1x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2 </span>
<span>[where the ^ is the usual way we indicate exponents here in Answers, because they're hard to represent in an online text environment]. </span>

<span>Now, compare this to multiplying a pair of two-digit integers: </span>
<span>37 × 43 </span>
<span>= (30 × 40) + (30 × 3) + (7 × 40) + (7 × 3) </span>
<span>= 1200 + 90 + 280 + 21 </span>
<span>= 1591 </span>

<span>The reason the two processes resemble each other is that multiplication is multiplication; the difference in the ways we represent the factors doesn't make it a fundamentally different operation. </span>
