Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Using fundamental theorem of algebra, there should be 7 roots, if you count multiplicity.
If you're only counting distinct roots, then there should be 4 roots.
#7. C #10. C #11. A #12. C
Answer:The formula for a can be calculated by the following steps;
Step-by-step explanation:
-3a-a=4b-6b
-4a=-2b
cancelling the negative sign;
4a=2b
a=2b/4
a=b/2
