What is the ratio of 36 to 144?
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! The ratio of 36 to 144 can be simplified by dividing both numbers by their greatest common factor, which is 36. So, 36 divided by 36 is 1, and 144 divided by 36 is 4. Therefore, the ratio of 36 to 144 is 1:4. Just remember, there are no mistakes in ratios, just happy little simplifications!
How do you factor 4x3 16x2 36x-144?
4x^(2)(x - 4) + 36(x - 4) (x - 4) is a common factor to both terms, hence (4x^(2) + 36)(x - 4) 4(x^(2) + 9)(x - 4) Done!!!! NB x^(2) + 9 does NOT factor .
Why does 12 go into 144?
Because it is a factor of that number. Factors are a fundamental part of number theory
What is the prime factorization of 144 written with the exponents?
144 is a perfect square, whose square factor is 12: Therefore we simply repeat the prime factorization of 12 (3,2,2) twice: 2,2,2,2,3,3.
When asked to factor the x2-144 a student gives the answer (x-12)(x-12). What is the wrong with this answer?
not sure
