e^(-2ln3)? turn into a rational number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the ln of it, which will cancel the e -2ln3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=3^-2=1/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think it is suppose to be in a fraction, those are irrational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help with something!!!! can you please tell me how to do least greatest and gcf?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer sheet says 1/9?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

e^(-2ln3) e^(ln(3^-2)) 3^-2 1/3^2 1/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, my bad raheen is right then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

PLEASE HELP ME!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in need help with gcf and LCM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, what is confusing you about it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

every thing im a student and i guess i learned it wrong:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha ok i will try to explain it the best I can. So GCF is where you have a polynomial and you need to simplify by finding a common factor. 64x^3+32xy^2+16x^2y for example the GCF of this would be 16x because 16 is the most I can take out of this and is the highest power I can take out. As for LCF i am confident enough to explain that one. I this kinda hleps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the problem im working on is what is the common factor for 16 and 48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think that is 16 because you can divide 16 from 48 and get 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have alot of homework

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does the back of the book say?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 isnt in the answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you tell me what the choices are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16 i mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

768,24,12,8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it is just one answer then it would be 8. I believe this to be true because 8 is the biggest number you can take out of both without getting rid of either one. That is what I took from it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess that kind of makes sence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try that on the next problem, look for the highest number you can divide out of both without losing either number. I hope this helps some

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well the next problem says what is the gcf of 28 and 42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, based on previous problems what do you think it might be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is what I got. Check your answer and see

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im trying to c if 14 will work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha my bad that one works as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14 works!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yay!!! so 14 is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It seems like you have the hang of it. It only gets harder because the numbers usually get bigger or they word it weird

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww man........ the next promblem is a word problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hahah those are never too fun. All you really need to worry about is the numbers in problem just write out what you read in an algebraic form or something similar or easy for you to understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

neli has 25 candies 18 peppermint and 12 chocolate candies he wants to divide the into groups so that each group has the same numbers of each candy. whats the largest group neli can make?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we know that each group together has to equal 25 so we need to find a common factor in each that equal 25.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im stuck:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh sorry instead of 25 its 24 candies

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a test tomarrow im scared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh dont be scared you will do fine. I am trying to think of how to make this make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm i know 2 goes into all of them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12 goes in to 24 and 12 but not 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm i think the answer is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I KNOW THE ANSWER IS !@ BECAUSE THATS THE HIGHEST NUMBER THAT CAN GO INTO ALL OF THEM!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One thing wrong with that though 12 is not a factor of 18. Ok so what did you come up with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( i forgot about the 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okkkk.... so then the answer is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe 6 is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I am a little sketch about it because it feels like there is something missing, can you see the answer in the back of the book

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okkkk what is the least common multiple of 4 and 12??? b:12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for least I would think 1 maybe, but that seems to easy so my next guess is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the least common multiple of 20 and 30?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 and 2 are not on the answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to more problems then i have to do socialstudys home work and science and reading and MORE AND MORE HOME WORK!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i think i know now for the 4 and 12 the answer is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i meant 24, my computer is lagging out bad

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it 24?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha i dont know what i am saying now im confusion my self

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( very confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IM sorry, but I took 4 and kept adding 4 to it and I took 12 and did the same but with 12 and the first number i saw that both had in common is the lcm, so it should be 12. I know i am confusing the mess out of you, and my self

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( IM SO COFUSED!!! AT SCHOOL IM LEARNING DIFFERENT STUFF ANG AT HOME MY MOM TAUGHT ME WRONG AND............... :*( i wanna cry im so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it cant be 24 cause thats not the least common multiple 12 is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its least

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im sorry, and now I am confusing. YOu are right it should be 12. Everything will be ok, if you have to, go to school early tomorrow and ask your teacher to clear up a few questions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here check this site out they do a better job of explaing lcm http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol3/lcm.html

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you add people as your friend on here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are welcome, i just could not figure out how to explain it and i confused you and myself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ummm im not sure I know you can become fans and im new to this site

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im gonna be your fan then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, i am yours as well, i think this will such us if either one of us posts something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you so much for everything

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are welcome, good luck are your test tomorrow and I hope i can be a little more clearer on your next questions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whait a second i have one more question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im mean wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha ok, shoot away

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hot dog buns come in packages of 10 and hot dogs come in packages of 12 barry would like to buy the smallest number of hot dog buns and hot dogs so that each bun would have 1 hot dog exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so here you figure out each multiple of both numbers until you find one that is common 10=10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80... 12,24,36,48,60 so he will need to buy five of each

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it wants to know how many packages you will have to buy of each one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry not of each 6 of 10 and 5 of 12. man i am just out of it today

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i didnt type that part down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6 hotdog buns and 5 hot dogs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok that makes sence thats what i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im done:P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good, im glad you are getting teh hang of it. Yay now time for more homework. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats your name?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My name is Rodney, what is yours?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummmmmm..... sorry i cant tell you my parents dont let me share my name online sorry. hey are you a teacher?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha that is cool, no but i am majoring in math education. So i want to be a teacher
