Collinear points lie on the same line
Factors are the numbers you multiply together to get another number. When you find the factors of two or more numbers, and then find some factors are the same ("common"), then they are the "common factors<span>"
</span>Example: 12 and 30
• The factors of 12 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12
• The factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 30
<span>So the common factors of 12 and 30 are: 1, 2, 3 and 6

Answer:
Ask yourself: Why cant math solve its own problems
Step-by-step explanation:
21/100
or 0.21
is the answer
Let <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> be the zeroes of <em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 such that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = 1.
By the factor theorem, we can write the quadratic in terms of its zeroes as
<em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 = (<em>x</em> - <em>a</em>) (<em>x</em> - <em>b</em>)
Expand the right side and equate the coefficients:
<em>x</em>² + <em>kx</em> + 12 = <em>x</em>² - (<em>a</em> + <em>b</em>) <em>x</em> + <em>ab</em>
Then
<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = -<em>k</em>
<em>ab</em> = 12
The condition that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = 1 has two cases, so without loss of generality assume <em>a</em> > <em>b</em>, so that |<em>a</em> - <em>b</em>| = <em>a</em> - <em>b</em>.
Then if <em>a</em> - <em>b</em> = 1, we get <em>b</em> = <em>a</em> - 1. Substitute this into the equations above and solve for <em>k</em> :
<em>a</em> + (<em>a</em> - 1) = -<em>k</em> → 2<em>a</em> = 1 - <em>k</em> → <em>a</em> = (1 - <em>k</em>)/2
<em>a</em> (<em>a</em> - 1) = 12 → (1 - <em>k</em>)/2 • ((1 - <em>k</em>)/2 - 1) = 12
→ (1 - <em>k</em>)²/4 - (1 - <em>k</em>)/2 = 12
→ (1 - <em>k</em>)² - 2 (1 - <em>k</em>) = 48
→ (1 - 2<em>k</em> + <em>k</em>²) - 2 (1 - <em>k</em>) = 48
→ <em>k</em>² - 1 = 48
→ <em>k</em>² = 49
→ <em>k</em> = ± √(49) = ±7
