Explain why 20 is not a square number.
Marizza181 [45]

A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself. Here, the square root of 20 is about 4.472. Thus, the square root of 20 is not an integer, and therefore 20 is not a square number.

Factories 24x^2-41x+12
andriy [413]

Answer:

(3x - 4)(8x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 24 × 12 and sum = - 41

The required factors are - 32 and - 9

Use these factors to split the x- term

24x² - 32x - 9x + 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 8x(3x - 4) - 3(3x - 4) ← factor out (3x - 4) from each term

= (3x - 4)(8x - 3) ← in factored form

Determine whether 5, 238 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, or 10.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

2, 3, 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply try each value using long division.

2:

Since 5,238 ends in an even number, that automatically means it is divisible by 2.

5238/2=2619

Now for 3:

5238/3=1746 no remainder or decimal, so 3 also works

4:

You can either do long division again with 4, or you can see if 5238 divided by 2 (5238/2) is also divisible by 2. Since 2619 doesn't end in an even number, 4 is a no go.

Long division 5238/4=1309.5 decimal here, so 4 isn't an answer

5:

This is also very easy, simply check if the number ends in 0 or 5. Since 5,238 does not, 5 doesn't work either.

6:

You can do the same thing as with 4, except this time trying to find if 5238 divided by 3 (5238/3) is divisible by 2. Since 1746 ends in an even number, 6 also works.

Long division: 5238/6=873

9:

You can do the same thing as with 6, except this time trying to find if 5238 divided by 3 (5238/3) is divisible by 3.

1746/3=548 with a remainder of 2, which means 9 doesn't work

Long division: 5238/9=548.66 repeating

10:

Finally, 10 is another easy one. Simply check if the number ends in 0. 5,238 does not, so 10 doesn't work.

How many boys are there in a group of 27 students if there are four-fifths as many girls as there are boys?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

15 boys

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 27 students. The number of girls is only 4/5 of the number of boys. I started by splitting the class. 14 boys and 13 girls doesn't work, so I changed it to 12 and 15. If it was 12 girls and 15 boys, the girls would have 4/5 of the boys, so it must be 12 girls and 15 boys.
