Find the multiples of each number
6: 2, 3
8: 2,2,2
-----------------------------
So the LCM would be 2,2,2, and 3
2x2x2x3=24

Hope that helps!

the answer is a 24 Method

The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24, which is the multiple of the highest power of all prime factors from both numbers

6 = 2 x 3

8 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 23 x 3

Highest multiple of 2 = 23 = 8

Highest multiple of 3 = 3

(23 x 3 = 8 x 3 = 24).

Small Numbers Method (trial and error)

Start listing the multiples

6 multiples- 6, 12, 18, 24

8 multiples- 8, 16, 24

The LCM of 8 and 6 is 24.

There are two conditions under which we can assume that the sample means follow a normal distribution. What are they

Naddik [55]

Two conditions under which we can assume that the sample means follow a normal distribution are as follows:

1). If the sample size is large enough, n greater than or equals 30, the sampling distribution is approximately normal regardless of the shape of the population.

2). In order to be considered a normal distribution, a data set (when graphed) must follow a bell-shaped symmetrical curve centered around the mean.

the change in water vapor in a cloud is modeled by a polynomial function, c (x). describe how to find the x - intercepts of c (x

lukranit [14]

The change in the water vapors is modeled by the polynomial function c(x). In order to find the x-intercepts of a polynomial we set it equal to zero and solve for the values of x. The resulting values of x are the x-intercepts of the polynomial.

Once we have the x-intercepts we know the points where the graph crosses the x-axes. From the degree of the polynomial we can visualize the end behavior of the graph and using the values of maxima and minima a rough sketch can be plotted.

Let the polynomial function be c(x) = x ² -7x + 10

To find the x-intercepts we set the polynomial equal to zero and solve for x as shown below:

x ² -7x + 10 = 0

Factorizing the middle term, we get:

x ² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0

x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) =0

(x - 2)(x - 5)=0

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x=2

x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x=5

Thus the x-intercept of our polynomial are 2 and 5. Since the polynomial is of degree 2 and has positive leading coefficient, its shape will be a parabola opening in upward direction. The graph will have a minimum point but no maximum if the domain is not specified. The minimum points occurs at the midpoint of the two x-intercepts. So the minimum point will occur at x=3.5. Using x=3.5 the value of the minimum point can be found. Using all this data a rough sketch of the polynomial can be constructed. The figure attached below shows the graph of our polynomial.
