Which is a complete list of factors of each term in the expression 15 + 20 x?

Mathematics

BigorU [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  A:

     15: 1, 3, 5, 15

     20x: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, x

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding divisors of a number, it is often convenient to start with the <em>prime</em> factors. Those may be raised to some power.

For the numbers here, the prime factors are ...

  15 = 3·5

  20 = 2²·5

One of the reasons this is useful is that each of these prime factors has an exponent. The number of divisors is the product of these exponents incremented by 1. That is, the number of divisors will be ...

  for 15: (1+1)(1+1) = 4

  for 20: (2+1)(1+1) = 6

Knowing this can help you make sure you have found all of the divisors. This number includes 1 and the number itself.

Then the divisors are ...

  15 ⇒ 1, 3, 5, 15 . . . . . . . . . . . 4 divisors

  20 ⇒ 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 . . . . . 6 divisors

__

For the variables, it is a little hard to tell what is intended. At least, a list of the individual variables is required. Hence x is added to the list for 20x.

The "complete" list of factors is ...

  • 15: 1, 3, 5, 15
  • 20x: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20, x

_____

<em>Further comment on variable factors</em>

If the variables were to be included in the divisor list the way the prime factors are, then we would first start by listing the prime factors:

 {2, 2, 5, x}

Then we would form the possible subsets:

  { }, {2}, {5}, {x}, {2, 2}, {2, 5}, {2, x}, {5, x}, {2, 2, 5}, {2, 2, x}, {2, 5, x}, {2, 2, 5, x}

and finally, form the products of the contents of these subsets:

  1, 2, 5, x, 4, 10, 2x, 5x, 10, 4x, 10x, 20x

Apparently, the answer choices for this question do not recognize 2x as a factor of the second term. The treatment for numbers is obviously different from the treatment for variables, but it is hard to tell what the rules for variables are from the answer choices here. (Consult your teacher and/or text.)

The asking price for homes on the real estate market in Baltimore has a mean value of​ $286,455 and a standard deviation of​ $11
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

c)

Step-by-step explanation:

The asking price in Baltimore has a mean value of $286,455 and a standard deviation of $11,200; this means that most houses prices fall between $275,255 and $297,655.

Similarly, the mean value in Denver is $188,468 and a standard deviation of $8,230; most houses prices fall between $180,238 and $196,698.

The problem tells us that one home sold in each city where the asking price for each home was $193,000. In the case of Denver this would be expected (values usually fall between 180,000 and 196500 approximately).

However, the house in Baltimore is relatively farther from the mean than the one in Denver because the price is more than one standard deviation away from the mean.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. The house in Baltimore is relatively farther from the mean than the house in Denver.

In a certain card game, for every 44 blue cards, there are 33 yellow cards. There are a total of 84 blue and yellow cards in the
worty [1.4K]
Use a proportion.

A ratio of 44 blue to 33 yellow is the same as a ratio of 4 blue to 3 yellow.

Since you are told the total of cards, 84, add 3 + 4 = 7

In the deck, the cards are int he ratio of 4 blue to 3 yellow to 7 total.

4 blue to 7 total = x blue to 84 total

4/7 = x/84

7x = 4 * 84

x = 4 * 12

x = 48

There are 48 blue cards.
