Given:
3 kids
72 is the product of their ages.
There is a youngest child.
This means that all three are of different ages. We need to factor 72 into 3 integers.
Let us use prime factorization:
72 ÷ 2 = 36
36 ÷ 2 = 18
18 ÷ 2 = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
Prime factors are: 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 OR 2³ x 3²
3 ages.
eldest = 3³ = 9
middle = 2² = 4
youngest = 2¹ = 2
2 x 4 = 8
8 x 9 = 72
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The inverse of a quadratic function is not a function.
Answer:
9+6i
Step-by-step explanation:
3+6=9
5+1=6
(y^2-y-12)/(y^2-2y-15) factor both the numerator and denominator...
(y^2-4y+3y-12)/(y^2-5y+3y-15)
(y(y-4)+3(y-4))/(y(y-5)+3(y-5))
((y-4)(y+3))/((y-5)(y+3)) so the (y+3) terms cancel leaving
(y-4)/(y-5)
