What is the greatest common factor for 84 and 56?

anzhelika [568]

Factors of 56 are: 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

Factors of 84 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, 84

The outside term multiplies by the outside term on the oposite side to equal the answer.

Example:
Look at the factors of 84
84X1=84
2X42=84
3X28=84
and so on!

Use linear approximation to approximate √25.3 as follows.

Sophie [7]

The idea is to use the tangent line to $f(x)=\sqrt x$ at $x=25$ in order to approximate $f(25.3)=\sqrt{25.3}$ .

We have

$f(x)=\sqrt x\implies f(25)=\sqrt{25}=5$

$f'(x)=\dfrac1{2\sqrt x}\implies f'(25)=\dfrac1{10}$

so the linear approximation to $f(x)$ is

$L(x)=f(5)+f'(5)(x-5)=5+\dfrac{x-5}{10}=\dfrac x{10}+\dfrac92$

Hence $m=\frac1{10}$ and $b=\frac92$ .

Then

$f(25.3)\approx L(25.3)=\dfrac{25.3}{10}+\dfrac92=\boxed{7.03}$

The price of products may increase due to inflation and decrease due to depreciation. Marco is studying the change in the price

likoan [24]

Answer:

A) 3%

B) Product A

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential Function

General form of an exponential function: $y=ab^x$

where:

a is the initial value (y-intercept)
b is the base (growth/decay factor) in decimal form
x is the independent variable
y is the dependent variable

If b > 1 then it is an increasing function

If 0 < b < 1 then it is a decreasing function

Part A

Product A

Assuming the function for Product A is exponential:

$f(x) = 0.69(1.03)^x$

The base (b) is 1.03. As b > 1 then it is an increasing function.

To calculate the percentage increase/decrease, subtract 1 from the base:

⇒ 1.03 - 1 = 0.03 = 3%

Therefore, product A is increasing by 3% each year.

Part B

$\sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{final\:value-initial\:value}{initial\:value} \times 100$

To calculate the percentage change in Product B, use the percentage change formula with two consecutive values of f(t) from the given table:

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10201-10100}{10100}\times 100=1\%$

Check using different two consecutive values of f(t):

$\implies \sf percentage\:change=\dfrac{10303.01-10201}{10201}\times 100=1\%$

Therefore, as 3% > 1%, Product A recorded a greater percentage change in price over the previous year.

Although the question has not asked, we can use the given information to easily create an exponential function for Product B.

Given:

a = 10,100
b = 1.01
n = t - 1 (as the initial value is for t = 1 not t = 0)

$\implies f(t) = 10100(1.01)^{t-1}$

To check this, substitute the values of t for 1 through 4 into the found function:

$\implies f(1) = 10100(1.01)^{1-1}=10100$

$\implies f(2) = 10100(1.01)^{2-1}=10201$

$\implies f(3) = 10100(1.01)^{3-1}=10303.01$

$\implies f(4) = 10100(1.01)^{4-1}=10406.04$

As these values match the values in the given table, this confirms that the found function for Product B is correct and that Product B increases by 1% per year.

Find the function value. tan495°

inysia [295]

Answer: -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find an angle that is coterminal to 495. So, subtract 360 degrees until youre in the range of 0-360. I got 495 - 360 = 135°

Tangent is equal to $\frac{sin(theta)}{cos(theta)}$ , we already solved theta which was 135°

This next part is hard to explain to someone who doesnt know their trig circle, idk if you do. The angle 135 is apart of the pi/4 gang. So we know this is going to be some variant of √2/2. Sine of quadrant 1 and 2 is gonna be positive:

$sin135=\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$

Now lets do cosine of 135°, which again is apart of the pi/4 gang because its divisible by 45°. Its in quadrant 2 so the cosine will be negative.

$cos135=-\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$

The final step is to divide them. They are both fractions so you should multiply by the reciprocal.

$\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2} *-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2} } =-\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{2\sqrt{2} } =-1$
