<h3>Answer:   60 minutes</h3>

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's find the LCM of 4 and 5, which are the first two items of the list.

  • multiples of 4 are: 4,8,12,16,20,24,...
  • multiples of 5 are: 5,10,15,20,25,...

The smallest item in each list is 20, so the LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

We can replace the "4,5" in the list "4,5,12,15" with "20". So our new list would be "20,12,15".

We then repeat the process of finding the LCM of the first two items

  • multiples of 20 are: 20,40,60,80,...
  • multiples of 12 are: 12,24,36,48,60,72,...

LCM of 20 and 12 is 60.

The list "20,12,15" condenses to "60,15".

Repeat this process of finding the LCM once more and you'll find the overall LCM is 60.

Therefore, the LCM of the entire set {4,5,12,15} is 60. This is the smallest multiple shared by all four values. Interestingly enough, the outer values pair up to multiply to 60, and so do the inner values.

4*15 = 60

5*12 = 60

The bells ring together every <u>60 minutes</u>

In other words, all of the bells ring together at the same time every hour (perhaps at the top of every hour; eg at 7:00 pm and at 8:00 pm, etc).

Which equation, when graphed, has x-intercepts at (-1,0) and (-5,0) and a y-intercept at (0, -30)?
Vladimir [108]

If a function has roots -1 and -5, it must be in the form

f(x)=a(x+1)(x+5)

We can fix the coefficient a by imposing the passing through (0,-30):

f(0)=-30=a(1)(5)\iff a=-6

So, the function is

f(x)=-6(x+1)(x+5)

In the wheel of woohoo game I'm taking a chance on a spinner with 20 outcomes if it lands on an even number I'll win a prize How
Aloiza [94]

Answer:  The chance here to win is 50%.


Step-by-step explanation:   You are taking a chance on a spinner with 20 outcomes. So, we will be considering natural numbers from 1 to 20.

And also, you will a prize if you land on an even number, so we will calculate the probability of getting an even number.

From 1 to 20, there are 10 odd numbers and 10 even numbers out of total 20 numbers.

Let us define the following events -

A = event of getting an even number

and

B = event of getting an odd number.

So, n(A) = 10  and  n(B) = 10.

So, the probability of getting an even number is given by

p(A)=\dfrac{n(A)}{n(A)+n(B)}=\dfrac{10}{10+10}=\dfrac{10}{20}=0.5=50\%.

Thus, the required chance of winning a prize is 50%.

Which binomial is a factor of x4 − 4x2 − 4x 8?
Anastasy [175]

The given polynomial is

x^4-4x^2-4x-8

As this is a fourth degree polynomial, we can not directly use any formula, So here we will use hit and trial method

check whether x=-1 is a zero of the polynomial or not

(-1)^4-4(-1)^2-4(-1)-8=-7

Hence x=-1 is not a zero.

Now check whether x=-2 is a zero of the polynomial or not

(-2)^4-4(-2)^2-4(-2)-8=0

Hence x=-2 is a zero of the polynomial.

Hence we can re-write the polynomial as

x^4-4x^2-4x-8=x^4+2x^3-2x^3-4x^2-4x-8\\ \\ =x^3(x+2)-2x^2(x+2)-4(x+2)\\ \\ =(x+2)(x^3-2x^2-4)\\

Hence the required binomial is (x+2)
