You need to find the greatest common factor of 30 and 48.

First find the prime factorizations of 30 and 48.

30/2 = 15
15/3 = 5
5/5 = 1

48/2 = 24
24/2 = 12
12/2 = 6
6/2 = 3
3/3 = 1

The prime factorizations are:
30 = 2 * 3 * 5
48 = 2^4 * 3

To find the GCF, you need the product of the common factors with the lower exponent.

Both 30 and 48 have 2 as a factor. 30 has 2 and 48 has 2^4. Pick the one with the lower exponent: 2.

Both 30 and 48 have 3 as a common factor. Pick 3.

GCF = 2 * 3 = 6

She needs 6 containers.

You find the gcf/ greatest common factor of both numbers which is 6, so 6 plastic containers.

If (x) = 3х - 2 and g(x) = 2х+ 1, find (f- g)(x).
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) - g(x) = 3x-2 - (2x + 1)      Remove the brackets

f(x) - g(x) = 3x - 2 - 2x -1       Combine terms.

f(x) - g(x) = x - 3

The answer is A

F(x) = x2 + 9, g(x) = *square root of* x + 8, <br><br> find g(f(x))
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

  g(f(x)) = √(x^2 +17)

Step-by-step explanation:

For ...

  f(x) = x^2 +9

  g(x) = √(x +8)

The definition of g(f(x)) is ...

  g(f(x)) = g(x^2 +9) = √((x^2 +9) +8)

  g(f(x)) = √(x^2 +17)
