Answer:

5y

Step-by-step explanation:

First find all the factors of 15y^3 and then all the factors of -20y

15y^3 = 3 , 5 , y,  y,  y

-20y = 2 , 4,  5, 10, y

The GCF is 5 and y. We choose 5 because it is the greatest number and common in both sets. We also choose one y because it is common in both sets and one y is the greatest common y.

Answer = 5y

You can also do this by using the prime factorization method.

Answer:

GCF will be 5y

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all the negative signs will be excluded when finding the GCF. The GCF is calculated by multiplying together the highest power of each of the common factors.

15^3 can be split into,

3*5*y*y*y.

-20y into,

2*4*5*10*y.

We will choose 5 as it is the greatest common number in both sets and choose y as it is also common in both sets.

So, the GCF will be 5y.

Fran works due north of home. Her husband Juan works due east. By the time Fran is 5 miles from home the distance between them i
lana66690 [7]
If I understood the question correctly, let's set the coordinates (5,5) from the origin (the home). To find the longer side of the triangle, (the distance between the husband and wife), we use A squared * B squared= C squared. 25*25=625, the square root of 625 is 25. So the distance between the husband and wife would be 25 miles. Therefore, one mile less than their distance would be 24 miles. To answer your question, <em><u>Juan is 24 miles from home.</u></em>
