Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

No, G.C.F. of pair of numbers can never be greater than both numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

G.C.F. (Greatest Common Factor) of pair of numbers is defined as the greatest factor of both the number that exactly divides both numbers.

For Example: G.C.F. of 14 and 21 =

36 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

Common Factors of 36 and 48 = 2 × 2 × 3 = 12

∴ G.C.F. = 12

As, we see that G.C.F. is factor of given number. So, it can never be greater than given numbers.

Answer 2

Answer: The gcf of numbers can never be greater than both numbers, because in order to be a gcf, it must be a factor that both numbers have, so if one number does not have that then it is not a gcf.

The y answers would be 11, 8, 5, 2, -1.

To find these parts of the table, we simply put the x value in for x and solve for y. The first two are done for you below.

WHEN x = -2

y = -3x + 5

y = -3(-2) + 5

y = 6 + 5

y = 11

WHEN x = -1

y = -3x + 5

y = -3(-1) + 5

y = 3 + 5

y = 8

-3(-2) +5=11

-3(-1) +5=8

-3(0) +5=5

-3(1) +5=2

-3(2) +5=-1

at a checkers tournament there where 64 players. It was elimatation tournament. how many games where played before there was a winner

Answers

so first game
half were eliminated
we notice a pattern
first game=64 times 1/2
next game 32 times 1/2 so

so just multiply by 1/2 till you get 1
round 1 64/2=32
round 2 32/2=16
round 3 16/2=8
round 4 8/2=4
round 5 4/2=2
round 6 2/2=1

6 is the answer

There are 64 players. For each group, one person is eliminated. You will divide 64/2(the # of people is 64, the number op people in each group is 2). You will get 32. 32 people are remaining. You will, again, divide. 32/2=16. 16 people remain. Divide, again by 2. 16/2=8. Divide by 2 again until you get to 1.
