The greatest length is the gcf of 52 and 64.
52 = 2 x 2 x 13
64 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
gcf = 2 x 2 = 4
Therefore, the greatest length of the pieces that can be made = 4 inches
no because the absolute value of 1/4 is 1/4 and the absolute value of -4 is 4
absolute value is just a positive version of the number inside of the symbol
Log base3 (6*13.5)
log base 3 (81)
log base 3 (3)^4
4 log base 3 (3)
4 * 1 = 4
First condense the logs by using the product rule.
Next rewrite 81 in terms of 3.
Use the power rule and bring the 4 to the front.
log base 3 (3) = 1
Which leaves 4 * 1 = 4
