What is the greatest common factor of 8 and 18?

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation: To find the greatest common factor or GCF of 8 and 18, we begin by finding all of the factors of each number.

To find the factors of 8, we know that 8 ÷ 1 is 8 so 1 and 8 are factors.

8 ÷ 2 is 4 so 2 and 4 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide 8 by 3, 4, 5, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.

Now let's find the factors of 18.

18 ÷ 1 is 18 so 1 and 18 are factors.

18 ÷ 2 is 9 so 2 and 9 are factors.

18 ÷ 3 is 6 so 3 and 6 are factors.

However, if we continue to divide by 4, 5, 6, and so on, we won't find any new factors. So the factors of 18 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.

Now that we have our list of factors, to find the greatest common factor, we simply find the largest number that is shared by the two lists.

Notice that our lists share a 1 but the largest number they share is a <em>2</em><em>.</em>

<em />

So the greatest common factor or <em>gcf</em> of 8 and 18 is 2.

It will take 8 seconds for all of the dominoes to fall over.

This will be an exponential function.  To find the growth rate, we can write out the terms of the sequence that goes along with it:  10, 20, 40, ...

"Growth rate" is the same as percent of increase or decrease.  We find the amount of increase and divide by the original amount:  20-10 = 10 increase; 10/10 = 1.

The exponential function is of the form
f(x) = a*(1+r)ˣ, where a is the initial value (10), r is the growth rate (1), and x is the number of time periods.  Using the variables given to us in the problem along with this information, we have:

d(s)=10(1+1)^s&#10;\\&#10;\\2560=10(2)^s

Divide both sides by 10:
\frac{2560}{10}=\frac{10(2)^s}{10}&#10;\\&#10;\\256=2^s

We will use logarithms to solve this:
\log_2 256=s&#10;\\8=s

What is the measure in degrees for the central angle of a circle whose radius is 9 cm and intercepted arc length is 7.2 cm?
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Therefore the measure of the central angle is 45.86°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Radius = 9 cm

arc length = 7.2 cm

pi = 3.14

To Find:

Central angle = θ =?

Solution:

If the θ  measured in degree then the arc length is given as

\textrm{arc lenght}=\dfrac{\theta}{360\°}\times 2\pi r

Where r = radius, θ = Central angle

On substituting the values we get

7.2=\dfrac{\theta}{360}\times 2\times 3.14\times 9\\\\\theta=\dfrac{2592}{56.52}=45.8598=45.86\\\therefore \theta=45.86\°

Therefore the measure of the central angle is 45.86°.

True [87]

Answer:

5,500

Step-by-step explanation:

25% of 2,750 is 687.5

687.5 times 4 is 2,750

2,750 times 2 is 5,500

so you would have $5,500 in total in your account in 4 years
