Whole numbers are positive numbers without decimals. First, list all the whole number factors of 36:

1 and 36

2 and 18

3 and 12

4 and 9

6 and 6

Next, see which one of those pairs has the highest sum:

1+36=37

2+18=20

3+12=15

4+9=13

6+6=12

The greatest possible sum the numbers can have is 37.

Hope this helps!!

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (1, −10) and (−4, −7)?

nignag [31]

Hi there! :)

First, let's find the slope using this formula:

m= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

m= $\frac{-7-(-10)}{-4-1} \\\frac{-7+10}{-5} \frac{3}{-5} =-\frac{3}{5}$

Now, use the Point-Slope formula:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-10)=-3/5(x-1)

y+10=-3/5x+3/5

y=-3/5x+3/5-10

y=-3/5x-9.4

Hope this helps..

Find the x-intercept of the parabola with vertex (1,-13) and y-intercept (0,-11).

Advocard [28]

1. find equation

general solutions are:
$y = a x^{2} +bx +c \\ \\ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2ax +b$

for P(0,-11)

$-11 = 0a + 0b +c$ ⇒ $c = -11$

for p(1,-13)
$-13 = 1a + 1b -11 \\ a+b = -2$

and

$0 = 2a + b \\ b = -2a$

solve for a and b:
$a - 2a = -2 \\ a = 2 \\ b = -4$

the total equation is now:

$y = 2 x^{2} -4x -11$

To find the x-intercept set y=0 and solve for x

$0 = 2 x^{2} -4x-11$

I dont know anything about percents and I need to know right now

Ludmilka [50]

To find a percent, you need to put the numbers into a fraction first. Since the total number of beads is there, that is the denominator (number on the bottom of the fraction). The purple bead number will go on the top. This makes the fraction 8/12. When you divide 12 by 8, you get the decimal 0.66666667. You move the decimal two places over and get ~66%. This makes your answer B. Hope this helps! :)

P (x) is a polynomial. Here are a few values of P (x): P(-5)=-2 and P (5)=-1 What is the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x+5)

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

– 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

P(x) = polynomial

P(–5) = – 2

P(5) = –1

Remainder when P(x) is divided by

(x + 5) =?

To obtain the remainder when P(x) is divided by (x + 5), we shall apply the reminder theorem as follow:

Let (x + 5) be equal to 0

(x + 5) = 0

x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both side

x + 5 – 5 = 0 – 5

x = –5

Replace x in P(x) with –5 as shown below:

P(x) = polynomial

x = – 5

P(–5)

From the question given above,

P(–5) = – 2

Therefore, when P(x) is divided by

(x + 5), the remainder is – 2.
