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

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.

How do you solve each system by graphing

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Hello! Remember to write complete questions in order to get good and exact answers. Here you don't provide any system so I couldn't help you in an exact way, but in a general manner. When solving systems by graphing we just need to find the points of intersection of the graphs of the functions that built up the system.

Suppose you have the following system of linear equation:

\left\{ \begin{array}{c}y=2x+3\\3y=8x+27\end{array}\right.

yBy using graphing tools, we get the graph shown below. As you can see, the point of intersection of both lines is (-9,-15)

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

y = 4 (2)^{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

For an exponential function in standard form

y = a (b)^{x}

To find the values of a and b, use ordered pairs from the table

Using (0, 4 ), then

4 = ab^{0} ( b^{0} = 1 ), so

a = 4

y = 4b^{x}

Using (1, 8 ), then

8 = 4b^{1} = 4b ( divide both sides by 4 )

2 = b

Thus

y = 4 (2)^{x} ← exponential function

The table shows the American League batting champions for the years 1999–2003. The sum of these five batting averages is 1.754.
fgiga [73]
The answer is <span>A. .357 + .372 + .350 + .349 + x = 1.754; .326 
</span>
x1 - average of <span>1999 Nomar Garciaparra Boston
</span>x2 - average of 2000 Nomar Garciaparra Boston
x3 - average of <span>2001 Ichiro Suzuki Seattle 
</span>x4 - average of Manny Ramirez Boston  
x - average of <span>2003 Bill Mueller Boston 

</span><span>The sum of these five batting averages is 1.754:
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x = 1.754

From the table:
x1 = 0.357
x2 = 0.372
x3 = 0.350
x4 = 0.349
x = ?

<u>0.357 + 0.372 + 0.350 + 0.349 + x = 1.754</u>

1.428 + x = 1.754
x = 1.754 - 1.428
<u>x = 0.326</u></span>
