Answer:

The GCF of 12 and 18 is 6 and here's how you get it...

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to compare the factors of 12 and 18.

12: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

18: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18

To get the factors of the number, look for want numbers can be divided by that number and still get a whole number. Ex. (12 / 3 = 4) 3 is a factor of 12.

The GREATEST common factor you see they have in common is the GCF.

If this helps, please give me brainliest.

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor of two numbers you find the largest number that can evenly go into both numbers

For example, the greatest number that can even;y go into 12 and 18 is 6

6 x 2 = 12

6 x 3 = 18

There is no number greater than six that can evenly go into both of those numbers therefore it must be the GCF

Find the roots of the function f(x) = (2^x − 1) - (x2 + 2x − 3) with x ∈ R.<br>​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer: There are no real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the roots of the function

f(x) = (2^x − 1) - (x2 + 2x − 3) with x ∈ R.

First open the bracket

2^x - 1 - x^2 - 2x + 3 = 0

Rearrange and collect the like terms

2x^2 - x^2 - 2x + 3 - 1= 0

X^2 - 2x + 2 = 0

Factorizing the above equation will be impossible, we can therefore find the root by using completing the square method or the quadratic formula.

X^2 - 2x = - 2

Half of coefficient of x is 1

X^2 - 2x + 1^2 = -2 + 1^2

( x - 1 )^2 = - 1

( x - 1 ) = +/- sqrt(-1)

X = -1 + sqrt (-1) or -1 - sqrt (-1)

The root of the function is therefore

X = -1 + sqrt (-1) or -1 - sqrt (-1)

Since b^2 - 4ac of the function is less than zero, we can therefore conclude that there is no real roots

Suppose that 10% of the undergraduates at a certain university are foreign students, and that 25% of the graduate students are f
Deffense [45]

Answer:

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Foreign

Event B: Undergraduate.

There are four times as many undergraduates as graduate students

So 4/5 = 80% are undergraduate students and 1/5 = 20% are graduate students.

Probability the student is foreign:

10% of 80%

25% of 20%. So

P(A) = 0.1*0.8 + 0.25*0.2 = 0.13

Probability that a student is foreign and undergraduate:

10% of 80%. So

P(A \cap B) = 0.1*0.8 = 0.08

What is the probability that the student is an undergraduate?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.08}{0.13} = 0.6154

0.6154 = 61.54% probability that the student is an undergraduate
