We know:

LCM(a,\ b)=\dfrac{ab}{GCF(a,\ b)}

We have

GCF(a,\ b)=2,\ LCM(a,\ b)=20,\ a\leq12,\ b\leq12

Substitute:

20=\dfrac{ab}{2}\qquad|\cdot2\\\\ab=40

40=1\cdot40=2\cdot20=4\cdot10=5\cdot8

Only 4 and 10 meet the requirements of the question.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

40 and 1 NOT, because 40 > 12

20 and 2 NOT, because 20 > 12

5 and 8 NOT because GCF(5, 8) = 1

Write the equation for an exponential function that triples ever year, x, when the original amount is 4.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

y = 4(3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the exponential equation

From the question, we have the equation tripling in x value every year and the original amount is 4

The exponential equation is of the form;

y = a(b)^n

In this case;

a = 4 , b = 3 and n = x

So we have the equation as;

y = 4(3)^x

Find the value of c so that (x+2) is a factor of the polynomial<br><br> p(x)=3x^4-x^2+cx-2
DedPeter [7]
Using polynomial long division, we get
         
         3x^3+6x^2+11x
         _____________
(x+2) | 3x^4-x^2+cx-2
          -(3x^4+6x^3)
          ____________
             6x^3-x^2+cx-2
          - (6x^3+12x^2)
         _____________
        11x^2+cx-2
      -(11x^2+22x) 
       __________
        (22+c)x-2. 

If you're wondering how I did the long division, what I essentially did was get the first value (at the start, it was 3x^4) and divided it by the first value of the divisor (which in x+2 was x) to get 3x^3 in our example. I then subtracted the polynomial by the whole divisor multiplied by, for example, 3x^3 and repeated the process.

For this to be a perfect factor, (x+2)*something must be equal to (22+c)x-2. Focusing on how to cancel out the 2, we have to add 2 to it. To add 2 to it, we have to multiply (x+2) by 1. However, there's a catch, which is that we subtract whatever we multiply (x+2) by, so we have to multiply it by -1 instead. We still need to cross out (22+c)x. Multiplying (x+2) by -1, we get
(-x-2) but by subtracting the whole thing from something means that we have to add -(-x-2)=x+2 to something to get 0. x+2-x-2=0, xo (22+c)x-2 must equal -x-2, meaning that (22+c)=-1 and c=-23
