Introduction
1. What was the purpose of the experiment?
The purpose of the experiment was to study and understand the various surface processes that shape the Earth's surface, such as weathering, erosion, and deposition.
What is the the greatest common factor in the following expression?
18n^4 - 14n^2 + 12n
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the expression 18n^4 - 14n^2 + 12n, we need to identify the common factors shared by all the terms.
Looking at the coefficients, 18, -14, and 12, the common factor is 2.
Next, we consider the variable, n. The highest power of n that appears in all the terms is n^4. Therefore, the common factor is n^4.
Combining the common factors for the coefficients and variables, we have:
GCF = 2n^4.
What is the the greatest common factor in the following expression?
5v^6 + 15v
To find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the expression 5v^6 + 15v, we need to identify the common factors shared by all the terms.
Looking at the coefficients, 5 and 15, the common factor is 5.
Next, we consider the variable, v. The highest power of v that appears in both terms is v^1. Therefore, the common factor is v^1 (or simply v).
Combining the common factors for the coefficients and variables, we have:
GCF = 5v.
