Answer:
C. define all variables
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations for word problems will depend on the problem. Not all of the equations will be linear equations. Even if they are, they are not necessarily easily written in any particular form, or easily solved when they are written in that form. The nature of the equations will depend on the problem.
One thing that must be done in any case is <em>define all variables</em>. It is usually a good idea to define the units of the variable(s) as well. Sometimes problems are posed with numbers in incompatible dimensions, or they may ask for an answer in dimensions different from those used in the given information. In order to avoid confusion and to be sure you have the desired answer, you need to make sure the variables and their dimensions are compatible with the solution process.
Multiples : these are what we get after multiplying a number by an integer (not a decimal or fraction)
Example : 6 * 1 = 6......6 * 2 = 12.....6 * 3 = 18......so 6,12, and 18 are multiples of 6.
factors : these are what we multiply by to get a number
Example : 1 * 6 = 6.....so 1 and 6 are factors of 6....2 * 3 = 6 ...so 2 and 3 are also factors of 6
==============================
problem 1 : Look at ur clues...each number is less then or equal to 12....this right here eliminates D because of the 15. The greatest common factor of the 2 numbers is 2....and this eliminates B because if it has a factor of 2, it has to be an even number. So that leaves us with :
A. 6 and 10
C. 10 and 12
last clue....they have a least common multiple of 60...this means that ur 2 numbers cant have any other common multiples until 60.
6 * 10......both are multiples of 60...however, they are also both multiples of 30...so 60 is not the least common multiple of 6 and 10, it is 30.
Therefore, ur answer is C. 10 and 12....with the LCM of 60, LCF of 2 and < or = to 12
===================
problem 2 : GCF (greatest common factor) of 42 and 84
factors of 42 : 1,2,3,6,7,14,21,42
factors of 84 : 1,2,3,4,6,7,12,14,21,28,42,84
therefore, the GCF of these 2 numbers is 42
You would best do this by completing the square on the quadratic and subbing in the vertex they give you, like this:
Since the y coordinate of the vertex is 1/2 and we need to solve for c, set the
equal to 1/2 and solve for c, which is the whole point of what we are doing, right?
and
and c = 4. So that's our answer!
