She is correct.
120-36=84=2^2*3*7
The key is to notice that if the two numbers are a and b, then gcf(a,b) | a-b ---> this means that the greatest common factor of a and b divides their difference. Also,    a-b> gcf(a,b)
So, the only case to consider is if gcf(a,b)=2 and a-b=42.
This is clearly possible to find 2 such numbers a,b (one example would be 62 and 20).

I would like to create a rectangular orchid garden that abuts my house so that the house itself forms the northern boundary. The
son4ous [18]

Answer:

x  =  15 ft

y  =  15 ft

A(max)  =  225 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  "x "  and  " y "  sides of the rectangle x (side paralll to the northern  boundary, then:

A(r)  = x*y        and      4*x  +  2*2*y  =  120   or    4*x  + 4*y  = 120

4*x  +  4*y  = 120    ⇒  x  +  y  = 30    ⇒   y  =  30 - x

Area of the garden as a function of x is:

A(x)  =  x* ( 30 - x )    ⇒  A(x)  =  30*x  - x²

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation

A´(x)  = 30  - 2*x

A´(x)  = 0   ⇒    30  - 2*x =  0

2*x  =  30

x = 30/2

x = 15 ft

And  y =  ( 30 - x )

y  =  15 ft

A(max)  =  15*15

A(max)  = 225 ft²

Pls help for this question! no wrong answers pls
ankoles [38]

Answer:

41.29 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Area of the shaded portion = Area of the circle - area of the square.

A' = πr²-L²...… Equation 1

Where A' = Area of the shade portion, r = radius of the circle, L = length of the square, π = pie

Given: r = 4 cm, L = 3 cm

Constant: π = 22/7.

Substitute these values into equation 1

A' = [(22/7)×4²]-3²

A' = 50.29-9

A' = 41.29 cm²

Hence the area of the shaded portion is 41.29 cm²

(140-x)/(7)+70 = 120. Please answer correctly.
slava [35]
From question,
(140-x)/7+70=120
Or, (140-x)/7=120-70
Or,140-x=50X7
Or, -x=350-140
Or, -x=210

Which number produces an irrational number when added to 5/8?
givi [52]
Choice D will create an irrational number when added. This is because a rational number plus a rational number will always be irrational (you can experiment this by trying to add rational numbers to pi). For example, 3 + pi = 6.1415926..... or 1+ \frac{2}{7} =1.285714....
