it is not because prime factorization is a number broken down by its prime factors
4 x 3 x 20 x 8 x 22 = 42240
the correct prime factorization of 42240 is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 x 11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Each term of this Geometric Series (3, −6, 12, −24, ...) can also be found through this explicit formula:
Because the
term is found by the product of its common ratio "q", times its predecessor n-1. Where n, refers to the order of the term.
So let's test it, suppose we want to find the 4th term. We know the common ratio and the first term. Then we can write f(n) as:

f(4)=f(3)*-2⇒-24=12*-2⇒-24=-24
The explicit formula is ok.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I always like to use the mean if I can. In this data set, it's probably not a very good idea. Too much weight is given to that 7.2 and the two 3.2s.
I would choose the median, because the mode is the same answer and that's a good enough reason for choosing anything. 2 out 3 isn't bad as they say in Baseball.
Multiply her answer by -6 and see if the result is -108
Answer:
She uses 243 beads for the 5th string.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we can see a pattern. If she triples the number of beads in each of the next strings, that means that we just take the last number and multiply by 3. If the first string uses 3, then:
The second uses 9, 3 * 3 = 9
The third uses 27, 9 * 3 = 27
The fourth uses 81, 27 * 3 = 81
And the 5th uses 243, 81 * 3 = 243.
