Answer:
A) None
Step-by-step explanation:
1) shoudnt neccesarily be a factor of nst, for example, if s = 3, t = 4, and n = 12, then both s and t are factors of n, but is not a factor of nst = 144.
2) shoudnt neccesarily be a factor of nst. Let s be 4, let t be 6, and let n be 12. Then n is a factor of both s and t, but is not a factor of nst = 12*24. In fact, it is a greater number.
3) Again, s+t isnt necessarily a factor of nst, let s be 2 and t be 3. Then both s and t are factor of n = 12. However 5 = s+t is not a factor of nst = 72.
So, neither of the three options is guaranteed to be a factor of nst. In fact, for s = 4, t = 6, and n = 12, none of the three options are valid.
Answer: 38
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the difference of squares factorization - that for any numbers a and b, (a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2.
We have:
(x^2+1)(x^2-1)=x^4-1
In addition:
(x-1)(x+1)=x^2-1, so we have:
(x^2+1)(x+1)(x-1)
As our complete factorization.
Answer:
4/15 of an inch
Step-by-step explanation:
A worm wriggled forward 4/5 of an inch in 3 minutes.
=> At that rate, the distance the worm would go in 1 minute is:
D = (4/5)/3 = 4/(5x3) = 4/15 of an inch
Hope this helps!
