Answer:

96 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Day = 86400\ seconds

Required

Ways to divide it into period of seconds

What this question implies is to determine the total number of factors of 86400

To start with, we determine the prime factorization of 86400

To do this, we continually divide 86400 by 2; when it can not be further divided, we divide by 3, then 7, then 11...

86400/2 = 43200

43200/2=21600

21600/2=10800

10800/2=5400

5400/2= 2700

2700/2 = 1350

1350/2=675

675/3=225

225/3=75

75/3=25

25/5=5

5/5 = 1

This implies that:

86400 = 2^7 * 3^3 * 5^2

The number of factors d is the solved by:

d = (a+1)*(b+1) *(c+1)

Where

n = 2^a * 3^b * 5^c

By comparison:

a = 7

b = 3

c=2

So:

d = (7+1)*(3+1) *(2+1)

d = 8*4 *3

d = 96

<em>Hence, there are 96 total ways</em>

Factor completely 4x2 − 8x − 60. (4x − 20)(x + 3) 4(x − 5)(x + 3) (4x − 4)(x + 15) 4(x − 1)(x + 15)
katovenus [111]

after complete factorization of 4x^2-8x-60 the answer is 4(x+3)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor 4x^2-8x-60

Taking 4 common and factorizing:

=4(x^2-2x-15)\\=4(x^2+3x-5x-15)\\=4(x(x+3)-5(x+3))\\=4(x+3)(x-5)

So, after complete factorization of 4x^2-8x-60 the answer is 4(x+3)(x-5)

What information is needed in order to solve problems using the Pythagorean theorem?
gladu [14]
You would need to know the length of two sides either a2, b2, c2. you would also need to know what sides you are solving for, either one of the legs or hypotenuse. hope this helps, if you know how to solve a Pythagorean theorem problem this should be easy to answer

A line passes through (2, 4) and (-2, 2). Find the value of y if (6, y) lies on the line. Not sure how the 3 was brought into th
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Well, that is simple. You first must find the slope of the line from the 2 given points by using the slope formula. Which is y2-y1/x2-x1. So 2-4/-2-2 which equals -2/-4 which is 1/2. So the slope is 1/2. Now we can use the slope intercept form which is y=mx+b to find the slope equation. So we plug in one the points, say (2,4) and get y=1/2x+3. So now we plug in (6,y) Since we know x we can find y. y=1/2(6)+3 which gives us y=6. So y is 6.

100 points Triangle ABC is shown below: Triangle ABC is shown. A is at 2, 1. B is at negative 1, 4. C is at 3, 7. If triangle AB
Vinil7 [7]

Using translation concepts, the coordinates for point C' are given as follows:

C'(-3,7).

<h3>What is a translation?</h3>

A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.

The rule for a reflection over the y-axis is given as follows:

(x,y) -> (-x,y).

Hence, for point C', the coordinates are given by:

(3,7) -> (-3,7).
