Answer:

The correct answer is: 360.

Explanation:

First we can express 120 as follows:

2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120

You can get the above multiples as follows:

120/2 = 60

60/2 =30

30/2 = 15

15/3 = 5 (Since 15 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 120, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 --- (1)

Second we can express 360 as follows:

360/2 = 180

180/2 = 90

90/2 =45

45/3 = 15 (Since 45 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)

15/3 = 5

5/5 = 1

Take all the terms in the denominator for 360, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 --- (2)

Now in (1) and (2) consider the common terms once and multiple that with the remaining:

2*2*2*3*5 = Common between the two

3 = Remaining

Hence (2*2*2*3*5) * (3) = 360 = LCM (answer)

Which property of real numbers IS shown below?<br> 3 + ((-5) + 6) = (3 + (-5)) + 6

Art [367]

The associative property of real numbers is shown in the number expression 3 + ((-5) + 6) = (3 + (-5)) + 6

<h3>What is an arithmetic operation?</h3>

It is defined as the operation in which we do the addition of numbers, subtraction, multiplication, and division. It has a basic four operators that is +, -, ×, and ÷.

We have a number expression:

= 3 + ((-5) + 6) = (3 + (-5)) + 6

As we know in the associative property:

a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c

= (3 + (-5)) + 6

Thus, the associative property of real numbers is shown in the number expression 3 + ((-5) + 6) = (3 + (-5)) + 6

Fill in Sin, Cos, and tan ratio for angle x. <br> Sin X = 4/5 (28/35 simplified)

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Given: $\sin(x) = (4/5)$ .

Assuming that $0 < x < 90^{\circ}$ , $\cos(x) = (3/5)$ while $\tan(x) = (4/3)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Pythagorean identity $\sin^{2}(x) + \cos^{2}(x) = 1$ .

Assuming that $0 < x < 90^{\circ}$ , $0 < \cos(x) < 1$ .

Rearrange the Pythagorean identity to find an expression for $\cos(x)$ .

$\cos^{2}(x) = 1 - \sin^{2}(x)$ .

Given that $0 < \cos(x) < 1$ :

$\begin{aligned} &\cos(x) \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \sin^{2}(x)} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^{2}} \\ &= \sqrt{1 - \frac{16}{25}} \\ &= \frac{3}{5}\end{aligned}$ .

Hence, $\tan(x)$ would be:

$\begin{aligned}& \tan(x) \\ &= \frac{\sin(x)}{\cos(x)} \\ &= \frac{(4/5)}{(3/5)} \\ &= \frac{4}{3}\end{aligned}$ .
