C. 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60
1,000: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, 500, 1000
Now we find the common numbers. One doesn’t count as when multiplied later on, it will not change anything.
60: 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
1,000: 2, 4, 5, 10, 20
The highest common factor is 20 because it’s, well, the highest number.
D. Do the same thing for D.
24: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
880: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 16, 20, 22, 40, 44, 55, 80, 88, 110, 176, 220, 440, 880
20 and 880: 2, 4, 8
8 is the Highest Common Factor.
E. Do the same thing with E.
90: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90
1,000: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 25, 40, 50, 100, 125, 200, 250, 500, 1000
90 and 1000: 2, 5, 10
10 is the Highest Common Factor.
Answer: x^2 - 14x + 49
Explanation:
1) Divide the coefficient of x by 2:
14 / 2 = 7
2) so you have to add 7^2 = 49
x^2 - 14x + 49
3) that trinomial is equivalent to:
=> (x - 7)^2
4) prove that using the formula (a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2
(x - 7)^2 = x^2 - 14x + 49
Then you have to add 49 to complete the square. and form a perfect square trinomial.
