Answer:

420

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime Number: a whole number greater than 1 that cannot be made by multiplying other whole numbers

First prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, ...

Prime Factorization: prime numbers that multiply together to make the original number.

LCM = least common multiple: smallest positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers

Start by finding the prime factorization of each number.

Start with the smallest prime number: 2

70 ÷ 2 = 35

35 is not divisible by 2 or 3, but is divisible by 5:

35 ÷ 5 = 7

7 is a prime number, so cannot be divided any further

So 70 = 2 × 5 × 7

Start with the smallest prime number: 2

84 ÷ 2 = 42

Again divide by 2:

42 ÷ 2 = 21

Now divide by 3:

21 ÷ 3 = 7

So 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7

Write each number as a product of primes, matching primes vertically when possible

84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7

70 = 2 × 5 × 7

Now bring down the primes in each column. The LCM is the product of these factors.

LCM = 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 = 420

What are the solutions of the system 7x + 3y=-3 and y= -2*?

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

opt 4

Step-by-step explanation:

when x=0, 0+3y= -3, so y=-1 (0,-1) is solution

when x=3 , 21+3y=-3, 3y= -3-21= -24

y= -8 (3,-8) is also solution

Find the probability of exactly three successes in six trials of a binomial experiment in which the the probability of is 50%.

Lyrx [107]

Start by doing the binomial expansion of (x+y)^6 where x represents success. This is

(x^6y^0) + 6(x^5y^1) +15(x^4y^2) +20(x^3y^3) +15(x^2y^4) +6(x^1y^5) +(x^0y^6)

We are interested in the x^3y^3 term which represents exactly 3 sucesses. Since the probalbility of sucess and failure are both .5 we should be able to figure this out just using the coefficients of the terms which is

20/64 = .3125 which is 31.25%

Give A={a,b,c},how many subsets does A have including 0?

Tems11 [23]

Answer: 8 subsets

----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------

There are n = 3 elements in the given set, so there are 2^n = 2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8 subsets. Those 8 subsets are listed below

{a,b,c}
{a,b}, {a,c}, {b, c}
{a}, {b}, {c}
{ }

The first row is the original set. Any set is a subset of itself.
The second row represents subsets with exactly 2 elements.
The third row represents subsets with exactly 1 element
The fourth row is the empty set which can be written as $\varnothing$
