Answer:

The GCF is - 4y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polynomial expression −16y4 + 12y2 – 4y?

If we carefully traverse all the terms we can factor out 4y from all the terms

=-4y(4y³-3y+1) which is similar to the original expression

Hence the greatest common factor GCF = - 4y

The Greatest Common Factor (GCF) is the largest number that will divided evenly into that number.

If ∆ABC and ∆GEF are congruent, the value of x is___? and the value of y is ___?

attashe74 [19]

Answer-

The value of y is 6 units.

Solution-

Given ∆ABC ≅ ∆GEF

If two triangles are congruent, then the corresponding sides are also congruent.

So,

EF = BC, GF = AC

Putting the values,

$\Rightarrow x-y=4$ --------------1

$\Rightarrow x-8=2$

$\Rightarrow x=10$ --------------------2

Putting the values of x in equation 1,

$\Rightarrow 10-y=4$

$\Rightarrow y=10-4=6$

Therefore, the value of y is 6 units.

Which product is modeled by the number line below? A number line going from negative 8 to positive 8. An arrow goes from 0 to ne

Mariana [72]

Answer: (-2)(4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The model could be explained as follows ;

Step 1 : 0 - - - - > - 2 = - 2 units

Step 2 : -2 - - - - > -4 = - 2 units

Step 3: - 4 - - - - > -6 = - 2 units

Step 4: - 6 - - - - > -8 = - 2 units

-2 units for reach of the 4 steps

Therefore, model is expressed as :

(-2) × 4

(-2)(4)

Suppose there are 100 cookies in a jar. if 30 are chocolate chip, 40 are oatmeal raisin, 20 are peanut butter, and 10 are sugar

lubasha [3.4K]

If there's 100 cookies, of which there are 40 oatmeal raisin and 10 sugar cookies, there are 50 out of 100 cookies which you want. Hence by chance, there is a 50/100, or 1 in 2 chance of you obtaining an oatmeal raisin or a sugar cookie.

What's 362, 584 rounded to the nearest hundred thousand

hammer [34]

To round up a number, you will add one value to the digit if the lower digit number is 5 or more. If the number is lower than 5, then you don't have to add one value.

In this case, you need to round up to hundred thousand. So, you need to look at the ten thousand digit which was 6. Since it was more than 5, you can add 1 value to the ten thousand digit. Then 362,584 will become 400,000
