Find the greatest number that divides 30 and 60 without leaving a remainder.
Answers
The greatest number that divides 30 and 60 without leaving a remainder is its GCF.
Find the GCF of 30 and 60 by listing their factors. We get the following:
The factors of 30 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30
The factors of 60 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
Since the greatest common factor of the two numbers is 30, then the greatest number that divides 30 and 60 without remainder is 30.

Translate thefollowing phaseinto an inequality-3 times r is at least 33A) inequality B) Solve the equality for r.C) express the solution in interval notation.
Answers
Given the phrase:
-3 times r is at least 33
Let's translate the given phrase into an inequality.
• Part A.
Let's figure out the inequality in steps.
-3 times r is written as:
-3r
-3 times s is at least 33 means that -3r is greater than or equal to 33.
Hence, we have the inequality:
[tex]-3r\ge33[/tex]• Part B.
Let's solve the inequality for r.
To solve for r, divide both sides of the inequality by -3:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{-3r}{-3}\ge\frac{33}{-3} \\ \\ r\le-11 \end{gathered}[/tex]• Part C.
Let's express the solution in interval notation.
Here, the solution is:
[tex]r\le-11[/tex]It means s must be less than or equal to 11.
Therefore, the solution in interval notation is:
[tex](-\infty,-11\rbrack[/tex]ANSWER:
• A) -3r ≥ 33
• B) r ≤ -11
• C) (-∞, -11]
Use the factor theorem to determine whether x-2 is a factor

Factor theorem is usually used to factor and find the roots of polynomials. A root or zero is where the polynomial is equal to zero. Therefore, the theorem simply states that when f(k) = 0, then (x – k) is a factor of f(x).

As we can see in the box below, 2 is not a root of the polynomial, therefore (x-2) isn't a factor.

f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 7Find the vertexaxis of symmetrygraph itfind the domainfind the range
Answers
Answers:
Vertex: (4, -9)
axis of symmetry: x = 4
Domain: (-∞, ∞)
Range: [-9, ∞)
Explanation:
If we have a quadratic function with the form y = ax² + bx + c, the x-coordinate of the vertex will be at x = -b/2a
So, for f(x) = x² - 8x + 7, we get a = 1, b = -8 and c = 7, then the x-coordinate of the vertex will be:
[tex]x=\frac{-(-8)}{2(1)}=\frac{8}{2}=4[/tex]Then, the y-coordinate will be the value of f(x) when x = 4
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(x)=x^2-8x+7 \\ f(4)=4^2-8(4)+7 \\ f(4)=16-32+7 \\ f(4)=-9 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the vertex of the equation is the point (x, y) = (4, -9).
The axis of symmetry is located in the vertex, since the parabola opens up, the axis of symmetry is the vertical line x = 4.
To graph the function, we need to find some points before and after the vertex. So, we will give values to x as 2, 3, 5, and 6. Then, we can calculate f(x) as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(2)=2^2-8(2)+7=4-16+7=-5 \\ f(3)=3^2-8(3)+7=9-24+7=-8 \\ f(5)=5^2-8(5)+7=25-40+7=-8 \\ f(6)=6^2-8(6)+7=36-48+7=-5 \end{gathered}[/tex]So, to graph the function, we will use the points (2, -5), (3, -8), (5, -8), (6, -5) and the vertex (4, -9). Therefore, the graph is:
Finally, the domain is the set of values that the variable x can take. In this case, x can be any number, so the domain is the set of all real numbers or written as an interval
(-∞, ∞)
And the range is the set of all values that f(x) can take. In this case, f(x) is always greater than -9, so the range is the set [-9, ∞)

In a textbook, 900 digits are used for the page numbers. How many pagesare in the textbook, starting with page 1? (Hint: First find how many digitsare used for pages 1-9 and 10-99.)
Answers
Given:
900 digits are used for the page numbers. How many pages are in the textbook, starting with page 1
We will find the number of the pages of the book as follows
The number of digits from 1 to 9 = 9
The number of digits from 10 to 99:
There are 90 numbers, each number has 2 digits
So, the number of digits from 10 to 99 = 90 x 2 = 180
The number of digits from 100 to 999:
There are 900 numbers, and each number has 3 digits
so, the number of digits from 100 to 999 = 900 x 3 = 2700
The overall digits are given = 900
So, number of digits from 1 to 99 = 9 + 180 = 189
Subtract 189 from 900 = 900 - 189 = 711
Divide 711 by 3 = 237
So, the number of pages that have 3 digits = 237
So, the number of pages of the book = 237 + 99 = 336
So, the answer will be 336 pages

Let d be the distance from the base of the cliff to Emily's boat, then, from the above diagram we can set the following equation:
[tex]\tan 25º=\frac{300m}{d}\text{.}[/tex]Then:
[tex]d=\frac{300m}{\tan 25º}\text{.}[/tex]Simplifying the above result we get:
[tex]d\approx643.35m[/tex]Answer:
[tex]643.35m[/tex]
