Mathematics

Answer:

  • (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Factorize the given expressions:</u>

  • x² - 16 = x² - 4² = (x - 4)(x + 4)
  • x² + 4x - 32 = x² + 8x - 4x - 32 = x(x + 8) - 4(x + 8) = (x - 4)(x + 8)

<u>The LCM is the product of all unique  factors of both expressions:</u>

  • (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 8)

The least common multiple is the smallest expression that can be divided by both of the given expressions.

x^2 - 16 = (x - 4)(x + 4)

x^2 + 4x - 32 = (x + 8)(x - 4)

Both of the factored versions of the expressions have an (x - 4) in them. Thus, that will automatically be included in the LCM. Next, we have to include the (x + 4) and the (x + 8) in our LCM.

LCM = (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 8)

Hope this helps! :)

Angle DEF is an inscribed angle on a circle, and m O 48°<br> O 96°<br> O 132°<br> O 24°
bija089 [108]

∠24°

What is an inscribed angle in a circle?

Inscribed angles are angles whose vertices are on a circle and that intersect an arc on the circle. The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the measure of the intercepted arc and half the measure of the central angle intersecting the same arc.

given that intercepted arc = ∠48°

The intercepted arc is the arc that is inside the inscribed angle and whose endpoints are on the angle.

If the intercepted arc is twice the size of the inscribed angle, then the inscribed angle is half the size of the intercepted arc. So if the intercepted arc is 48 degrees, the inscribed angle is 48 / 2 = 24 degrees.

Zina [86]

A number cube has six sides. The probability of landing on any of the numbers is equal. The theoretical probability of rolling a 6 is 1/6. I expect a 6 to be rolled (1/6)(300), or 50 of 300 times

Answer:

c = 9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>step1</h3>

(a-b)²

a² - 2ab + b²

here a = x

        b = ?

   

so

x² - (2)(x)(?) + ?²

Now we can see that -(2x)? = -3x/2

                                    -2x? = -3x/2

cancel -x on both sides

2? = 3/2

? =  3/2 * (2)

? =  3/4

so b = 3/4

<h3>step2</h3>

(x² - 3x + 9/16) = (x-3/4)²

so from the expression we can see that C = 9/16
