How many factor pairs does 24 have? explain

4 pairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the total number of factors of 24.

A factor is a positive whole number that can go into 24 without remainders.

The factors are:

1, goes in 24 times

2, goes in 12 times

3, goes in 8 times

4, goes in 6 times

There are also 6, 8, 12 and 24, but they are already found from the number of times the other numbers can go in.

The pairs are:

1 X 24

2 X 12

3 X 8

4 X 6

Therefore 24 has 4 factor pairs.

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
