4a²=144
a²=144/4
a²=36
a=⁺₋√36
a=⁺₋6

Answer: we have two values for a; a=-6; and a=6

we check it out:
if a=-6
4(-6)²=4*36=144

if a=6
4(6)²=4*36=144

OverLord2011 [107]

$Find\ GCF(875;\ 1000)$

$875|5\\175|5\\.\ 35|5\\.\ \ 7|7\\.\ \ 1|\\875=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5\times7\\\\1000|5\\.\ 200|5\\.\ \ 40|5\\.\ \ \ 8|2\\.\ \ \ 4|2\\.\ \ \ 2|2\\.\ \ \ 1|\\1000=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5\times2\times2\times2$

$GCF(875;\ 1000)=\fbox5\times\fbox5\times\fbox5=125\\\\\frac{875}{1000}=\frac{875:125}{1000:125}=\frac{7}{2\times2\times2}=\boxed{\frac{7}{8}}$

Which graphs have a positive average rate of change?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In general, graphs that go from lower left to upper right have a positive slope (think of it as going up the stairs...positive), and graphs that go from upper left to lower right have a negative slope (think of it as going down the stairs...negative). I don't see graphs here but use this general idea and you'll be fine. Of course, this applies to graphs of lines of the form y = mx + b.
