A teacher bought 32 notebooks, 72 pencils and 24 erasers to make identical packages with some notebooks, some pencils and some e

rasers for his students. He used everything he bought, and every student got a package. What is the largest number of students the teacher can have in his class? How many notebooks, pencils, erasers would be in each package?

I think that if they are all identical packages at most there are 8 class members. I am thinking that the answer is 8 because 8 is the greatest common factor between all three numbers(24,32,72).

Cannot go higher with out giving half a pencil to someone.Or 1/3 of a notebook.
But, all the numbers are divisible by 8. 

So, each of the 8 students would get in their package:
72/8= 9 pencils
32/8= 4 notebooks
24/8= 3 erasers

Final Answer: 8 people at most are in this class and each student receives an identical package containing 4 notebooks, 9pencils, and 3 erasers.

Hope this helped! Comment with any questions you still have on this!

Given that a<span> teacher bought 32 notebooks, 72 pencils and 24 erasers to make identical packages with some notebooks, some pencils and some erasers for his students.

</span>Given that h<span>e used everything he bought, and every student got a package the largest number of students the teacher can have in his class</span> represents the highest common factor of 32, 72 and 24.

32 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
24 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

HCF = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8

Therefore, the <span>largest number of students the teacher can have in his class is 8 students.

The number of notebooks in each package is given by 32 / 8 = 4 notebooks.
The number of pencils in each package is given by 72 / 8 = 9 pencils
The number of erasers in each package is given by 24 / 8 = 3 erasers

Find the inverse function for
kifflom [539]
\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=\sqrt{2x-6}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}=\cfrac{x^2+6}{2}

that is correct hmmmm, yes, I think the restriction is also correct, it has to be x > 0, because, the domain on the original, has a restriction of x⩾3, otherwise the radicand turns negative.

now, the graph of that original function is a parabola sideways opening to the right, if you include both sides of the vertex of the parabola, it will not pass the vertical-line-test and not be a function, but if you restrict it to only positive roots, so it'll only be on the 1st quadrant, then it functions ok.

that means, the range of the original function, has to stick to only 0 or positive root values, now, recall that the range of the original is the domain of the inverse.  Therefore, the domain of the inverse, will have to stick to only 0 or positive values, since it's bound to the same restriction as the original's range.

notice the picture below of both, the dashed section is the positive range for each, if you include it, the original will fail the vertical-line-test, and the inverse will fail the horizontal-line-test.

recall that for a function to have an inverse, they both must pass the vertical and horizontal line test, or be a one-to-one functions.

A ski rental store rents a pair of skis for $44 a day and a snowboard for $58 a day. Yesterday, the store made $2,232 on ski and
Katen [24]

First, let the number of skis rented by x and the number of snowboards rented by y. We can then assemble the first equation from the amount of money made from the rentals.


44x + 58y = 2232


The second equation can come from the fact that 9 more skis were rented than snowboards.


y = x - 9


Therefore our system is:


44x + 58y = 2232

y = x - 9
