Answer: 16(x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation: When you're asked to a polynomial, the first thing you want to look for is the greatest common factor between the terms that are involved.
So what is the greatest common factor of 16x and 48?
The greatest common factor of 16x and 48 is 16 because
it's the largest number that divides evenly into 16 and 48.
The x does not qualify because it must appear in every term
to qualify for the GCF but here, it only appears in one term.
So a 16 factors out leaving us with each term divided by it
inside a set of parentheses so w eget 16(x + 3).
Notice that if we distributed the 16 through both terms,
we would end up with our original polynomial.
Answer:
(C) Sample: the 120 students surveyed. Population: the 1200 students at the high school. Parameter of interest: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is (C). The sample is a subset of the population, and the parameter is a characteristic of the population of interest.
Let's say the first number is "a"
the next consecutive can just be "a+1" and the next, you guessed it, "a+2"
the two smaller ones are a and a+1, the larger one is a+2
now, the product of "a" and "a+1" equals 5 times "a+2" but less by 5
thus a(a + 1) = 5(a + 2) - 5 <----- solve for "a"
Answer:
