Mathematics

Answer:

36

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF or greatest common factor is the greater/biggest number that can factor for both numbers. To find GCF, you need to make factor of both number

72- 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 2^3 * 3^2

36= 2 * 2 * 3 * 3      =  2^2 * 3^2  

After this, you can compare the factor of both numbers. Both numbers can be divided by 2, but 36 can be divided 2 times while 72 can be divided 3 times. In this case, you take the lowest number which is 2. Both numbers can be divided by 3^2 so you can take it whole.

The factor will be: 2^2 * 3 *2= 4 * 9= 36

Explain why systems of measurement are defined and provide an example to support your answer.
sasho [114]

Answer:

A unit of measurement is a specific magnitude of a certain quantity that is specified and recognized by convention or legislation and is commonly used as a standard for measuring the same kind of quantity. We would randomly confuse the computations if the unit system was not given to the measurements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: If someone wrote 200 as a response to a question on a piece of paper. But You neglected to mention the measuring units. Anyone can mistake it because there are no units written apart from the number (unit less). Complications multiply. It's impossible to say whether it's 200 m or 200 g. 200 milliliters? 200 kilometers, 200 seconds, or 200 meters? It's possible to guess anything. We should always utilize units to be specific about the answer to any problem. This will assist in narrowing down the approach to any challenge and providing a measurable linked quantity regarding the topic in question.

Yuliya22 [10]
\lim_{x \to 4} f(x)=x^2+3x-1
just subsitute
f(4)=4²+3(4)-1
f(4)=16+12-1
f(4)=28-1
f(4)=27

it approaches 27 as x approaches 4
