Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's see what makes 12x^5.

3·2·2·x·x·x·x·x

And for 8x^3...

2·2·2·x·x·x

We see that both of these have two 2s and 3 xs, so our GCF is 2·2·x·x·x which is 4x^3.

Have a wonderful day! :D

3. Which rule represents a linear function? Check all

Nady [450]

The answer is C

The answer is C because the function form for a linear function is f(x) = ax+b and the answer C has x which is the slope and -3 which would represent the y-intercept also known as b

Moira said, "If a right triangle has one side with a length of 3 units and one side with a length

Dima020 [189]

If the two sides with length 3 and 4 are the two legs, then the missing side, i.e. the hypotenuse, is indeed 5.

But it could also be the case that 4 is the hypotenuse and 3 is one of the legs. In this case, the missing side is the other leg, so we calculate it using

$\sqrt{4^2-3^2}=\sqrt{16-9}=\sqrt{7}$
