The greatest common factor of 120 and 72 is 24

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that we have to find the greatest common factor of 120 and 72

Let us first understand about greatest common factor

When we find all the factors of two or more numbers, and some factors are the same ("common") , then the largest of those common factors is the Greatest Common Factor

<em><u>Greatest common factor of 120 and 72:</u></em>

First find the factors of 120 and 72

The factors of 120 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120

The factors of 72 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 72

On observing the above factors list of 120 and 72, we find that 24 is the greatest common factor in both the list

Thus the GCF of 120 and 72 is 24

What would (4,3) be after it is reflected to the y=x

Paul [167]

Answer:

(3,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of steps applied from the reflection line to the point would be also applied inversely to the image point (after reflection).

From y=x to (4,3), it goes 1 down and also goes 1 right. (NOTE: It does not go down and right. Instead, it goes <em>either</em> down and right)

So now inverse that to make 1 up and also going 1 left.

Standard deviation of 300, 785, 670, 187, 760, 724

White raven [17]

STEP 1

Mean = $\frac{300+785+670+187+760+724}{6} = \frac{3426}{6}=571$

STEP 2

Subtract the mean from each data value then square the answer
$300-571=-271$ ⇒ $(-271)^{2} =73441$
$785-571=214$ ⇒ $(214)^{2}=45796$
$670-571=99$ ⇒ $(99)^{2}=9801$
$187-571=-384$ ⇒ $(-384)^{2} =147456$
$760-571=189$ ⇒ $189^{2}=35721$
$724-571=153$ ⇒ $153^{2} =23409$

STEP 3

Add the squared answers in STEP 2 then find the mean

$\frac{73441+45796+9801+147456+35721+23409}{6}= \frac{335624}{6}=55937.3$

STEP 4

Square root the answer in STEP 3
$\sqrt{55937.3} =236.5$

Standard deviation is 236.5

Write a recursive rule for the sequence 4,10,16,22

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

$a_{n+1}$ = $a_{n}$ + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms have a common difference d between consecutive terms, that is

10 - 4 = 16 - 10 = 22 - 16 = 6

To obtain the next term add 6 to the previous term ( recursive rule ), thus

$a_{n+1}$ = $a_{n}$ + 6 with a₁ = 4
