Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction, 1/12, can be written as 1/4 * 1/3. Since we know that 1/3 = 0.333333... and it doesn't terminate, we know that 1/12 doesn't terminate. Similarly 2/9 = 2/3*1/3 and 2/3 = 2*1/3, and neither of these fractions terminate. But, when dividing 3/10, you get 0.3, which terminates.

Find the greatest common factor of 15x^2y^3 and -18x^3yz <br> The Answer has to be like _x_y_

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The greatest common factor of this would be 3x^2y

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, first find the greatest common factor of the coefficients. Since 3 goes in evenly to both 15 and -18, then we know that it is a common factor.

From there we need to find the number of x's. Since the first term only has 2 x's and the second has 3, we take the lowest number. (x^2)

And since the first term has 3 y's and the second has just 1, we take the lowest number (y).

Determine the equation of the line that passes through the points of intersection of the graphs of the quadratic functions f(x)

timofeeve [1]

Answer: $x-2y-2=0$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

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

Point of intersection :

$f(x)=g(x)\\x^2-4=-3x^2+2x+8\\4x^2-2x-12=0\\2x^2-x-6=0\\2x^2-4x+3x-6=0\\2x(x-2)+3(x-2)=0\\(x-2)(2x+3)=0\\x=2\,,\,\frac{-3}{2}$

$x=2\,;f(2)=2^2-4=0\\x=\frac{-3}{2}\,; f\left ( \frac{3}{2} \right )=\left ( \frac{3}{2} \right )^2-4=\frac{-7}{4}=-1.75$

So, we have points $\left ( 2,0 \right )\,,\,\left ( -1.5,-1.75\ \right )$

Equation of line passing through two points $\left ( x_1,y_1 \right )\,,\,\left ( x_2,y_2 \right )$ is given by $y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\left ( x-x_1 \right )$

Let $\left ( x_1,y_1 \right )=\left ( 2,0 \right )\,,\,\left ( x_2,y_2 \right )=\left ( -1.5,-1.75\ \right )$

So, equation is as follows :

$y-0=\frac{-1.75-0}{-1.5-2}\left ( x-2 \right )\\y=\frac{-1.75}{-3.5}\left ( x-2 \right )\\y=\frac{1}{2}(x-2)\\2y=x-2\\x-2y-2=0$
