The gcf of numbers can never be greater than both numbers, because in order to be a gcf, it must be a factor that both numbers have, so if one number does not have that then it is not a gcf.

Answer:

No, G.C.F. of pair of numbers can never be greater than both numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

G.C.F. (Greatest Common Factor) of pair of numbers is defined as the greatest factor of both the number that exactly divides both numbers.

For Example: G.C.F. of 14 and 21 =

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common Factors of 36 and 48 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

∴ G.C.F. = 12

As, we see that G.C.F. is factor of given number. So, it can never be greater than given numbers.

Solve the inequality |* +31 &lt; |2x + 1.<br> |x+3|&lt;|2x+1|
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to follow when solving absolute value inequalities:

Isolate the absolute value expression on the left side of the inequality.

If the number on the other side of the inequality sign is negative, your equation either has no solution or all real numbers as solutions.

If your problem has a greater than sign (your problem now says that an absolute value is greater than a number), then set up an "or" compound inequality that looks like this:

(quantity inside absolute value) < -(number on other side)

OR

(quantity inside absolute value) > (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a ³ sign.

If your absolute value is less than a number, then set up a three-part compound inequality that looks like this:

-(number on other side) < (quantity inside absolute value) < (number on other side)

The same setup is used for a £ sign

Answer:

Because the kind of compounfds that you try to determine using paper chromatography (organic compounds) are usually not soluble in water. Furthermore, water could react chemically with some of this compounds, because it's a very reactive molecule. You need organic solvents that are mostly inert.
