Answer: 90 Earth years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analizing the information provided in the exercise, you need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the given numbers.

You can follow these steps:

1. You must descompose 6, 9, 15 and 18 into their prime factors:

6=2*3\\\\9=3*3=3^2\\\\15=3*5\\\\18=2*3*3=2*3^2

2. Finally, you need to choose the commons and non commons with their greatest exponents and multiply them. Then you get:

L.C.M=2*3^2*5=2*9*5\\\\L.C.M=90

Therefore, it will take 90 Earth years for them to all line up.

The domain of: x+3 under square root
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

All real numbers except where x<-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Values of x that make negatives under even radicals are not part of the domain. Any value of x that is less than -3 would make a negative under the square root, so those are not included in the domain.

Find the square root of -36.<br> A-6<br> B 6<br> C Cannot be done
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer: C) Cannot be done

Taking the square root of a negative number is not possible unless you involve complex numbers. If your teacher has not introduced that topic yet, then you just simply say "cannot be done" or something along those lines.

Solve for t. (Answer must be completely simplified)<br> 10t=11
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

T can be equal to 1 1/10 or 1.1 or 11/10

Step-by-step explanation:

10t=11

So divide by 10 on both sides.

t=11/10 which can be simplified to t=1 1/10 or t=1.1
