Answer:

HCF of 72 and 96 is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the highest common factor (HCF) of 72 and 96

<em>Highest Common factor(HCF) is the biggest number that is divisible by both numbers.</em>

First we will write prime factors of both 72 and 96

72: 2x2x2x3x3

96: 2x2x2x2x2x3

Now, writing the common factors: 2x2x2x3

Multiplying them we get: 24

So, HCF of 72 and 96 is 24

Answer:

$(2x^2+3)(x+4)$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^3+8x^2+3x+12$

We need to find the factors of given equation;

Solution:

On Solving the above equation we get;

Now First we will take common factor from first 2 terms which is $2x^2$ we get;

$2x^2(x+4) + 3x+12$

Now we will take the common factor from the last 2 terms which is 3 we get;

$2x^2(x+4) + 3(x+4)$

Here we get 2 terms in which $(x+4)$ is common factor.

$(x+4)(2x^2+3)$

Hence After factorizing the given equation we get $(2x^2+3)(x+4)$ .

Find two numbers whose difference is 154 and whose product is a minimum.

Serggg [28]

Y - x = 154
let z = xy = x(154 + x) = x^2 + 154x

we need to find the minimum value of z

z' = 2x + 154 which = zero for minm or maxm value

x = -77 and y = 154 -77 = 77

so the 2 numbers are -77 and 77
