Factor the expression using the GCF. 60 – 36 =

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago
6 0

Answer

12 (5 - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is the largest number that will divide both numbers evenly. As an example, 6 is a common factor because it divides both 60 and 36. However, it is not the greatest common factor.

 

If I break 60 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 5.

 

If I break 36 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 3.

 

The two number have the factors, 2, 2, and 3 in common.

 

The greatest common factor is then: 2 * 2 * 3, or 12.

 

The expression can be factored as:  12 ( 5 - 3)

What is the missing pattern 7, 11, 2, 18, -7
Alexxx [7]

The <em>missing</em> pattern behind the sequence 7, 11, 2, 18, -7 is described by the formula n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}, equivalent to the <em>recurrence</em> formula a_{n+1} = a_{n} + (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}.

<h3>What is the missing element in a sequence?</h3>

A sequence is a set of elements which observes at least a <em>defined</em> rule. In this question we see a sequence which follows this rule:

n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}      (1)

Now we prove that given expression contains the pattern:

n = 0

7

n = 1

7 + (- 1)² · 2² = 7 + 4 = 11

n = 2

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² = 11 - 9 = 2

n = 3

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² = 2 + 16 = 18

n = 4

7 + (- 1)² · 2² + (- 1)³ · 3² + (- 1)⁴ · 4² + (- 1)⁵ · 5² = 18 - 25 = - 7

The <em>missing</em> pattern behind the sequence 7, 11, 2, 18, -7 is described by the formula n = 7 + \sum \limits_{i= 1}^{n} (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}, equivalent to the <em>recurrence</em> formula a_{n+1} = a_{n} + (-1)^{i+1}\cdot (i + 1)^{2}.

34kurt

Answer:

13 months, 49 cms

For Sasha, multiply 3 and 13 together for the growth per month. You should get 39, then add the 10 cm Sasha already has. The sum is 49.

For Maria, multiply 13 and 1 for the growth per month. You should get 13, then add the 36 Maria already has. The sum is also 49.
