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.

Every positive number has two square roots - a positive and a negative (unless the value is 0).
The length of something can only be a positive number and since there is only one positive square root, there is only one answer.

Write an equation for your trend line?

Soloha48 [4]

Find two points on the graph that the line crosses through almost perfectly. It looks like (1,10) and (9,1) will do.

Use them to compute the slope:
m = (1 - 10) / (9 - 1)
= -9/8

Then set up the "point-slope form":
y - y0 = m * (x - x0)

You choose some point (x0, y0) that the line crosses through. We already know the line passes through (1,10) pretty well, so let's use that.

x0 = 1
y0 = 10

Now finish plugging into the equation:
y - 10 = -9/8 * (x - 1)

The above equation will work fine for an answer, but let's go a step further and solve for y.

y - 10 = -9/8x + 9/8
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 10
y = -9/8x + 9/8 + 80/8
y = -9/8x + (9 + 80)/8
y = -9/8x + 89/8
