To find the GCF of numbers.

1. Find the prime factorizations of the numbers.

2. The GCF is the product of the common factors with lower exponent.

a. 36x + 81

Let's start with the prime factorizations.

36 = 2^2 * 3^2

81 = 3^4

The only factor in common is 3. There is a 3^2 and a 3^4. We use 3^2 since it has a lower exponent.

GCF = 3^2 = 9

36x + 81 = 9(4x + 9)

b. 24a + 36

Let's start with the prime factorizations.

24 = 2^3 * 3

36 = 2^2 * 3^2

The two numbers have factor 2 in common. There is a 2^2 and a 2^3, so use 2^2 since it has the lower exponent.

The two numbers have factor 3 in common. There is a 3^2 and a 3. Use 3 since it has the lower exponent.

GCF = 2^2 * 3 = 4 * 3 = 12

24a + 36 = 12(2a + 3)

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is very important when factoring. Later on, you will forget to pull out a GCF and the answer will be wrong. Always look for a GCF before doing anything.

Let's try factoring these:

a.) 36x+81

The greatest common factor of this expression is 9, because it is the maximum number that both can go into. Let's solve.

9(4x+9)

This is the simplest this expression can get. This would be your final answer. Let's try the other one.

b.) 24a+36

The GCF of this one is 12. Let's simplify it.

12(2a+3)

This is also the simplest you can get it. You can do nothing further. So, your final answers are:

a.) 9(4x+9)

b.) 12(2a+3)

Find several points that are on the graph of the function y = x^2 + 1. Plot the points in a coordinate plane.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plot following points.

Calculate the point by plugging in values of x into x^2 + 1

for example When x = 0, y = 0^1 + 1 = 1.

So plot plot (0, 1),

Make a table of points to plot:

x   -3    -2    -1    0    1    2     3

y   10     5     2   1     2   5    10

When you plot the points you'll see the graph is U shaped.

The function is of second degree (as it contains x^2) so it wont be linear.

The area of that figure is 2453.25 square feet

First, you would need to find the area of the rectangle

(L)(W)
(70)(30)
2100

Then since it is only a semi circle, the formula is pi*r^2/2

You find the area of a full circle first

(3.14)(15^2)
(3.14)(225)
706.5

Then you divide that by 2 since it’s only half a circle

706.5/2 = 353.25

Finally you add that by the area of the rectangle

2100 + 353.25 = 2453.25 square feet

Multiply the polynomials (4x^2+x+7)(8x-5)
yawa3891 [41]

Answer: SIMPLIFY TERMS === 32X^3-12X^2+51X=35

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x2+x+7)(8x−5)

Expand (4x2+x+7)(8x−5)

by multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.

4x2(8x)+4x2⋅−5+(x(8x)+x⋅−5)+(7(8x)+7⋅−5)

Simplify terms.
