2 factors that add to 6 but multiply to 60

Mathematics

hodyreva [135]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The short answer is there isn’t.

Start by writing each of these as an expression:

x * y = 60

x + y = 7

Next, solve each for the same variable; in this case, y:

(x * y) / x = 60 / x

.: y = 60 / x

(x + y) - x = 7 - x

.: y = 7 - x

Next, replace y of the second expression to the first

y = 60 / x & y = 7 - x

.: 7 - x = 60 / x

Now, solve for x:

(7 - x) * x = (60 / x) * x

.: x * 7 - x^2 = 60

This is quadratic, so write it in the form of ax2 + bx + x = 0

(-1)x^2 + (7)x + (-60) = 0

.: a = -1, b = 7, c = -60

Finally solve for b:

x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / 2a

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(7^2 - 4*-1*-60)) / (2 * -1)

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(49 - 240)) / -2

.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(-191)) / -2

The square root of a negative value is imaginary and thus there’s no real answer to this problem.

choose two numbers from the list 3,4,6,12. Explain the difference between finding the greatest common factor and the least commo
zepelin [54]
3 & 6 - LCM = 3. 3's multiples are 3, 6, 9,12, 16, etc. 6's multiples are 6, 12, 18, etc. therefore, the least common multiple is 6.
GCF - 3's factors are 1, 3, and 6's factors 1, 2, 3. so the greatest common factor is 3.

Use the theoretical method to determine the probability of the following event. A randomly selected person has a birthday in Nov
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

There is an 8.22% probability that a randomly selected person has a birthday in November.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theoretical method to find the probability is the division of the number of desired outcomes by the number of total outcomes.

A randomly selected person has a birthday in November

There are 365 days in a year, so the number of total outcomes is 365.

There are 30 days in november, so the number of desired outcomes is 30.

So the probability is

P = \frac{30}{365} = 0.0822

There is an 8.22% probability that a randomly selected person has a birthday in November.

The relationship between the number of gallons of water in a tank and number of hours is proportional. One point on the line mod
Over [174]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I am assuming the tank starts empty. It means that in 1 hour the tank has half that water, or 3600 gallons. And the good thing of lines passing through 0.0 is that the value at 1 IS the slope we need. ie 3600.

At this point it's easy to find that if in 2 hours it filled 1/10th of the tank, in 20 hours the tank will be full.
