Answer:

The greatest common factor is 8xyz

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of an expression involving numbers and variables, we find each greatest common factor separately.

Numbers:

48, 24 and 56.

We find the greatest common factor factoring them simultaneously while all can be factored by the same number. The GCF is the multiplication of the factors. So

48 - 24 - 56|2

24 - 12 - 28|2

12 - 6 - 14|2

6 - 3 - 7|

They cant be factored by the same factors anymore, so the numeric GCF is 8.

Variables:

For each variable, the GCF will be the lowest exponent.

Variable x: We have exponents 1, 2 and 2. So the GCF is $x^1 = x$

Variable y: We have exponents 3, 3 and 1. So the GCF is $y^1 = y$

Variable z: We have exponents 1, 1 and 1. So the GCF is $z^1 = z$

The greatest common factor is:

$8*x*y*z = 8xyz$

You are given a line that has a slope of 4 and passed through the point (3/8, 1/2). Which statements about the question of the l

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Statement 1, 2 and 4 are true where as statement 3 is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Statement 1: The y-intercept is -1

Point (3/8, 1/2)

Slope = m = 4

y = mx + c

1/2 = 4(3/8) + c

1/2 = 3/2 + c

1/2 = 3/2 + 2c/2

-2 = 2c

c = -1

This statement is true as the y-intercept is -1.

Statement 2: The slope intercept equation is y= 4x - 1

slope = m = 4

y-intercept = c = -1

y = mx + c

y = 4x - 1

This statement is true as the slope intercept equation is y= 4x -1

Statement 3: The point slope equation is y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2)

Point slope equation: y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Points: (x, y) (3/8, 1/2)

y1 = 1/2

x1 = 3/8

Slope = m = 4

y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8)

This statement is not true as the slope intercept equation is y - 1/2 = 4 (x - 3/8) instead of y - 3/8 = 4 (x - 1/2).

Statement 4: The point (3/8, 1/2) corresponds to (x1, y1) in the point slope form of the equation

This statement is true as shown in statement 3's explanation where x1 = 3/8 and y1 = 1/2

The average rate of change is also known as the slope. If we are looking to find the average rate of change between x = -1 and x = 2, in order to find the slope between those 2 x values, we need the y's that go along with them. Fill in -1 for x in the function and solve for y: $(-1)^3-3(-1)^2-(-1)+3=0$ . That means that the coordinate is (-1, 0). Fill in 2 for x in the function and solve for y: $(2)^3-3(2)^2-(2)+3=-3$ . The coordinate there is (2, -3). Now we can set up the slope formula to find the average rate of change between those 2 points: $\frac{-3-0}{2-(-1)}=\frac{-3}{3}=-1$ . Therefore, the average rate of change between x = -1 and x = 2 is -1

PolarNik [594]

If we begin with the first term, 2, mult. it by 4 and then subtract 3, we get 5 (not 4, as shown).

If we begin with 4, mult. it by 4 and then subtract 3, we get 13. This agrees with the terms of the given sequence.

If we begin with 13, mult. it by 4 and then subtract 3, we get 49. This agrees with the terms of the given sequence.

Remove the first term, 2, and then the remaining terms follow the given procedure for finding terms.
