Express 60 as the product of its prime factors. Write the prime factors in accending order and give your answer in index form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime numbers are basically numbers that don't have any factors that multiply to get that number except for 1 and the number itself. (For example: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13 and so on are all prime numbers)

The question is asking to express 60 into prime numbers. 60 is 30*2, and since 2 is a prime number, we can circle it. Then we continue on with 30, which can divide into 15*2. Again, since 2 is a prime number, we circle it, while 15 can be factored further because 5*3 is 15. Since 5 and 3 are prime numbers, we circle them too. In the end, we have the prime numbers 5, 3, 2, and 2. There are two 2's in our factorization, so therefore we can simplify that to 2^2 since they ask for your answer in index form. There is only one 5 and one 3, and they ask to write them  in asscending order, and so the answer would be (2^2)*3*5. Hope this helps!

explanation

the graph has a slope of 1/3 because each time you move up 1, you go to the right 3. so, slope = rise/run = 1/3. we can cross choice a off the list since we want a slope of 3, rather than 1/3.

the first table shown has a slope of -3. this is because the rise is -6 and the run is 2, so slope = rise/run = -6/2 = -3. note how x increases by 2 each time (run) and y drops by 6 each time (rise). choice b can be eliminated.

the second table has a slope of 3. each time x goes up by 1, the y values increase by 3. slope = rise/run = 3/1 = 3. alternatively you can use the slope formula to prove that the slope is 3 here. use any two rows of values to generate the two points. choice c is one of the answers

the third table also has a slope of 3. let's use the slope formula to prove as such. i'm going to use the first two rows of the table. so i'll use the two points (2,1) and (5,10)

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-1)/(5-2)

m = 9/3

m = 3 so we get a slope of 3

choice d is the other answer

answer: the anser is 3

c- 2o is equal to 9
