Find the Greatest common factor 42,60

Mathematics
1 answer:
Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Greatest common factor (GCF) of 42 and 60 is 6.

As the numbers get larger, or you want to compare multiple numbers at the same time to find the GCF, you can see how listing out all of the factors would become too much. To fix this, you can use prime factors.

List out all of the prime factors for each number:

Prime Factors for 42: 2, 3, and 7

Prime Factors for 60: 2, 2, 3, and 5

Now that we have the list of prime factors, we need to find any which are common for each number.

Looking at the occurences of common prime factors in 42 and 60 we can see that the commonly occuring prime factors are 2 and 3.

To calculate the prime factor, we multiply these numbers together:

GCF = 2 x 3 = 6

(hope this helps can i plz have brainlist :D hehe)

A flagpole that was originally 24 feet tall has cracked 9 feet from the ground and has fallen as if hinged. Find
Dimas [21]
The top of the flag pole touched the ground 12 feet from the base.

Since it cracked 9 feet from the base, 9 is the vertical leg of the right triangle formed.  The rest of the flagpole, 24-9=15, is the hypotenuse, as it is slanted down to the ground.  The missing side is the horizontal leg, which we will call b:

9²+b²=15²
81+b²=225

Subtract 81 from both sides:
81+b²-81=225-81
b²=144

Take the square root of both sides:
√b²=√144
b=12

What is the equation of the line with an x-intercept of -1 and a y-intercept of 2?
morpeh [17]
The equation of the line for this question can be stated as,

What does y = when x is -1 or

What does x = when y is 2

So since the slope of the line is 2, we can assume that B and C must be the answers but since you want one answer we need to be more accurate.

The answer is C

Because when y = 0 x = -1 and when y = 2 x = 0

Answer:

  21x² +20x +100 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the sum of the roots of x² +bx +c = 0 is -b, and their product is c. If the roots are α and β, then ...

  • α+β = -b
  • αβ = c

The sum of the roots of the new equation will be ...

  -b' = (α+1/β)+(β+1/α) = (α+β) +(1/α +1/β) = (α+β)(1 +1/(αβ))

The product of the roots of the new equation will be ...

  c' = (α+1/β)(β+1/α) = αβ +2 +1/(αβ)

Using the above relations for (α+β) and αβ, we find that ...

  -b' = (-b)(1 +1/c)

  c' = c + 2 + 1/c

For the given equation, our definition of b and c is ...

  b = 2/3

  c = 7/3

so the new equation has values ...

  b' = (2/3)(1 + 1/(7/3) = (2/3)(10/7) = 20/21

  c' = 7/3 + 2 + 1/(7/3) = 13/3 + 3/7 = 100/21

So, the equation with the roots of interest is ...

  x² +20/21x +100/21 = 0

Multiplying by 21 gives ...

  21x² +20x +100 = 0
