It helps immensely if you know your times tables.
a) 36 = 6*6 = 2*3*2*3 = 2^2*3^2
b) 45 = 5*9 = 5*3*3 = 3^2*5
c) 2 is not a common factor; 3^2 is a common factor; 5 is not a common factor. The greatest common factor is 3^2 = 9.
d) The least common multiple can be found a couple of ways.
.. 1) the product of the distinct factors to their highest powers
.. .. .. 2^2 * 3^2 * 5 = 180
.. 2) the product of the numbers divided by their greatest common factor.
.. .. .. 36 * 45 / 9 = 180
Answer:
Neither
Step-by-step explanation:
If the sequence was geometric, each term would be multiplied by the same multiplier to get to the next one. We can check if the multiplier is the same by taking a term and dividing it by the term before it. For example,
-4/3.5=-1.14285714
-7.5/-4=1.87500
The multiplier between the terms aren't the same so it's not geometric.
For arithmetic, the distances between each term would be the same, and we can take the same idea from the geometric sequence, but use subtraction instead of division
-4-3,5=-7.5
-7.5-(-4)=-3.5
Again, the distances aren't the same, so it's not arithmetic.
Plug in 2 for x, and -4 for y
2(2)² + 3(2)(-4) - (-4)²
2² = 4(2) = 8
3(2) = 6(-4) = -24
-4² = 16
8 - 24 - 16 = answer
Simplify.
answer = 8 - 40
answer = -32
-32 is your answer
