Answer:

<em>When 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Least Common Multiple ( LCM )

The LCM of two integers a,b is the smallest positive integer that is evenly divisible by both a and b.

For example:

LCM(20,8)=40

LCM(35,18)=630

Since Tom, Sam, and Matt are counting drum beats at their own frequency, we must find the least common multiple of all their beats frequency.

Find the LCM of 4,10,12. Follow this procedure:

List prime factorization of all the numbers:

4 = 2*2

10 = 2*5

12 = 2*2*3

Multiply all the factors the greatest times they occur:

LCM=2*2*3*5=60

Thus, when 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.

1. Solve the following equation by factoring: 4x2 + 12x + 9 = 0

Luden [163]

Answer:

x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² + 12x + 9 = 0

Use AC method to factor, or recognize the perfect square.

(2x + 3)² = 0

2x + 3 = 0

x = -3/2

Find the dicontinuities of the function.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming you meant to type in

$f(x)=\frac{x^2+12x+27}{x^2+4x+3}$ because you can only have removable discontinuities where there is a rational (fraction) function. Begin by factoring both the numerator and denominator to

$f(x)=\frac{(x+3)(x+9)}{(x+1)(x+3)}$ and cancelling out like terms would have us eliminating the (x + 3). That is where there is a removable discontinuity. It leaves a hole. The other discontinuity, (x + 1) doesn't cancel out so it is a non-removable discontuinity, which is a vertical asymptote.

The removable discontinuity is at -3. There is no y value at x = -3 (remember there's only a hole here), because -3 causes the denominator to go to 0 and we all know that having a 0 in the denominator of a fraction is a big no-no!!!
