Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

If d is a positive number then the greatest common factor is 108d.

To get it isolate d and d^2 from the numbers.

108 divides 216. (216 = 2×108)

Then the greatest common factor of 216 and 108 is 108.

For d^2 and d we will follow the same strategy

d divides d^2 (d^2 = d*d)

Then the greatest common factor of them is d.

So the greatest common factor will be 108d if and only if d is positive. If not then 108 is the answer

Answer:

\boxed{108d}

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1: Find GCF of variables

The equation gives <em>d </em>² and <em>d</em> as variables. The GCF rules for variables are:

  1. The variables must have the same base.
  2. If one variable is raised to a power and the other is not, the GCF is the variable that does not have a power.
  3. If one variable is raised to a power and the other is raised to a power of lesser value, the GCF is the variable with the lesser value power.

The GCF for the variables is <em>d</em>.

Part 2: Find GCF of bases (Method #1)

The equation gives 108 and 216 as coefficients. To check for a GCF, use prime factorization trees to find common factors in between the values.

Key: If a number is in bold, it is marked this way because it cannot be divided further AND is a prime number!

<u>Prime Factorization of 108</u>

108 ⇒ 54 & 2

54 ⇒ 27 & 2

27 ⇒ 9 & 3

9 ⇒ 3 & 3

Therefore, the prime factorization of 108 is 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3, or simplified as 2² * 3³.

<u>Prime Factorization of 216</u>

216 ⇒ 108 & 2

108 ⇒ 54 & 2

54 ⇒ 27 & 2

27 ⇒ 9 & 3

9 ⇒ 3 & 3

Therefore, the prime factorization of 216 is 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3, or simplified as 2³ * 3³.

After completing the prime factorization trees, check for the common factors in between the two values.

The prime factorization of 216 is 2³ * 3³ and the prime factorization of 108 is 2² * 3³.  Follow the same rules for GCFs of variables listed above and declare that the common factor is the factor of 108.

Therefore, the greatest common factor (combining both the coefficient and the variable) is \boxed{108d}.

Part 3: Find GCF of bases (Method #2)

This is the quicker method of the two. Simply divide the two coefficients and see if the result is 2. If so, the lesser number is immediately the coefficient.

\frac{216}{108}=2

Therefore, the coefficient of the GCF will be 108.

Then, follow the process described for variables to determine that the GCF of the variables is <em>d</em>.

Therefore, the GCF is \boxed{108d}.

Lateral surface area just means the surface area, but excluding the top and base, so for a pyramid the lateral surface area would just be the surface area of all four triangles.

To find the surface area of the four triangles, you first do base × height = 32 × 24 = 768, and then divide that by 2 which is 384. Now you can just multiply this by 4 and get your answer as 1,536 square centimeters.

I hope this helps!

Kerry is on the cross country team. She runs 3 miles every day except on her birthday. How many miles does she run each year?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

1,092 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 365 days in a year. Subtract 1 day because of her birthday. So what you're going to do is multiply 3 times 364 which equals 1,092.

So Kerry runs 1,092 miles each year.

Which equation is a direct variation function? y = x y = 1/4 x + 2 y = x2 , y = 4,
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

y=x and y=\frac{1}{4}x

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

'Direct Variation function' is the function where two quantities vary directly i.e. variables x and y are said to be directly varying if 'y=kx' where k is the constant of variation.

Thus, from the options, we see that the function,

y=x is varying directly with the constant of variation i.e. k = 1.

y=\frac{1}{4}x is also varying directly with constant k=\frac{1}{4}
