The greatest possible number of club members is 7

Solution:

Given that, local readers’ club has a set of 49 hardback books and a set of 21 paperbacks

Each set can be divided equally among the club members

To find the greatest possible number of club members, we have to find the greatest common factor of 49 and 21

The greatest number that is a factor of two (or more) other numbers.

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common"), then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor.

Greatest common factor of 49 and 21:

The factors of 21 are: 1, 3, 7, 21

The factors of 49 are: 1, 7, 49

Then the greatest common factor is 7

Thus, the greatest possible number of club members is 7

The rabbit population on a small island is observed to be given by the function

Ahat [919]

A.) P(t) = 130t - 0.4t^4 + 1200
The population is maximum when P'(t) = 0
P'(t) = 130 - 1.6t^3 = 0
1.6t^3 = 130
t^3 = 81.25
t = ∛81.25 = 4.3 months.

Maximum population P(t)max = 130(4.3) - 0.4(4.3)^4 + 1200 = 1,622

b.) The rabbit population will disappear when P(t) = 0
P(t) = 130t - 0.4t^4 + 1200 = 0
t ≈ 8.7 months

Three ways to write 18/6

const2013 [10]

One way to write 18/6 is to compute 18/6 to be the whole number of a quotient that is equal to. Another way to write 18/6 is to write it as an improper fraction that's reduced. One more way to write 18/6 is as a decimal. Note how all of these ways of writing the same expression are all equal to writing one same value, and it's the WAY in which you modify what you're writing.

Determine the measure of angle BZC.

dusya [7]

Answer:

70 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle BZA = Angle BZC = 20 degrees

Reason : These two angles are Vertically opposite angles.

Angle BZA + Angle BZC = 90

20 + Angle BZC = 90

Angle BZC = 90 - 20

Angle BZC = 70 degrees

Subtracting 5 from each score in a distribution with a mean equal to 40 and a standard deviation equal to 3 will result in a sta

LenaWriter [7]

Adding or subtracting a constant from each value of a distribution changes the mean, but not the standard deviation.

The standard deviation will equal 3.

Can someone help me with system of equations?

umka21 [38]

#1)

Answer:

x=1 and y=12

Explanation:

y=5x+7

y=2x+10

This system should use substitution because the value of y is given in terms if x.

Substitution:

5x+7=2x+10

Solve:

3x=3

x=1

Substitute x to solve for y by plugging x into one if the original equations(doesn’t matter which one is used).

y=5x+7

y=5(1)+7

y=5+7

y=12

#2)

Answer:

x=-8 and y=2

Explanation:

y=2x+18

9y=-2x+2

This system also uses substitution. The value of y us already given in terms if c in the first equations, so we will substitute in the second equation.

Substitute:

9(2x+18)=-2x+2

Solve:

18x+162=-2x+2

20x=-160

x=-8

Now that we have the value if x, plug it into one of the original equations(doesn’t matter which equation) and substitute to find y.

y=2x+18

Substitute:

y=2(-8)+18

Solve:

y=-16+18

y=2
