<h3>Answer: 6</h3>

Explanation:

List list the multiples of each value

multiples of 2 = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ...}
multiples of 3 = {3, 6, 9, 12, 15, ...}
multiples of 6 = {6, 12, 18, 24, ...}

In each list, we see 6 show up. This is the smallest multiple that is in common; therefore, the LCM is 6

Side note: The LCM is useful to help add and subtract fractions.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Option B) w = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the value of w to make the given expression true.

The given expression is:

$14=11+\dfrac{w}{8}\cdot6\\\\14-11 = \dfrac{w}{8}\cdot6\\\\3 = \dfrac{w}{8}\cdot6\\\\\Rightarrow w = \dfrac{3 \cdot 8}{6} = 4$

Option B) w = 4 is the correct answer.

The formula for the volume of a cone is v=1/3pir^2h. Find the radius, to the nearest hundredth, of a cone with a height of 3 in.

Maru [420]

Cone Volume = (π • r² • h) ÷ 3
radius^2 = (3 * Volume) / (PI * height)
radius^2 = (3 * 12) / (PI * 3)
radius^2 = (36)/ (9.4247779608) 
radius^2 = 3.8197186342 
radius = 1.95

Which of the following is an example of the difference of two squares

True [87]

Complete Question: Which of the following is an example of the difference of two squares?

A x² − 9

B x³ − 9

C (x + 9)²

D (x − 9)²

Answer:

A. $x^2 - 9$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to spot an expression that is a difference of two squares is to note that the first term and the second term in the expression are both perfect squares. Both terms usually have the negative sign between them.

Thus, difference of two squares takes the following form: $a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b)$ .

a² and b² are perfect squares. Expanding $(a + b)(a - b)$ will give us $a^2 - b^2$ .

Therefore, an example of the difference of two squares, from the given options, is $x^2 - 9$ .

$x^2 - 9$ can be factorised as $x^2 - 3^2 = (x + 3)(x - 3)$ .
