Answer:
40
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the method of prime factors
8 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³
2 = 2
5 = 5
Then LCM = 2³ × 5 = 8 × 5 = 40
I believe the answer is B.
Answer:
a = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
f(x) = 3x + 5 , then
f(a) = 3a + 5 and f(a) = - 13 , then equating the right sides
3a + 5 = - 13 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
3a = - 18 ( divide both sides by 3 )
a = - 6
The fraction is 2/6, because he has six ties which gives you the denominator of six and 2 are red. to simplify 1/3
Answers:
- C) x = plus/minus 11
- B) No real solutions
- C) Two solutions
- A) One solution
- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.
========================================================
Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
