Let x represent the first number, then x-7 represents the second number

Assume the numbers are whole numbers (no negative numbers), then the smallest value that x could be is 8. Thus, the first number is 8 and the second number is 1. The LCM is 8.

Let's increase x by one number so that x=9, then the second number is 2. The LCM is 18.

Let's increase x again by one number so x=10, then the second number is 3. The LCM is 30.

You could continue this to discover that the LCM will be x(x-7) between x=8 and x=13.

So what happens at x=14? First digit is 14 and the second digit is 7. The LCM is 14.

This will occur for all x-values that are multiples of 7.

Answer: when x is a multiple of 7, the LCM is x. when x is not a multiple of 7, the LCM is x(x-7).

Which equation represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 36)?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:              It would be the first equation because:

Step-by-step explanation:        

In order to be an exponential function, the X

variable has to be in the exponent, that eliminates

the second and fourth answers

       f(X) = 4(3)X

using the point (2,36)

  f(2) = 4 (3)2

         = 4 (9 )

         = 36

In the triangle shown above m∠B = 114°, m∠C = 22°, and b = 12 in. What is the approximate length of side a? A. 15.78 in B. 9.12
Elena L [17]

The approximate length of side a is 9.12 in. The correct option is B. 9.12 in

<h3>Law of Sines </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the approximate length of side a

From the given information, we have that

m∠B = 114°, m∠C = 22°

Thus,

m∠A = 180° - (114° + 22°)

m∠A = 180° - 136°

m∠A = 44°

Now,

From the law of sines, we have that

a/sinA = b/sinB

Then,

a/sin44° = 12/sin114°

a = (12 ×sin44°)/sin114°

a = 9.12 in

Hence, the approximate length of side a is 9.12 in. The correct option is B. 9.12 in
