. Over the next two days, Clinton Employment Agency is interviewing clients who wish to find jobs. On the first day, the agency plans to interview clients in groups of 2. On the second day, the agency will interview clients in groups of 4. If the employment agency will interview the same number of clients on each day, what is the smallest number of clients that could be interviewed each day?

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Clients are interviewed in groups of 2 on the first day; meaning two persons at a time

Second day, clients are interviewed in groups of 4; meaning 4 persons at a time.

Therefore, if the same number of clients are to be interviewed on each day, the smallest number of clients that could be interviewed each day could be obtained by getting the Least Common Multiple of both numbers: 2 and 4

- - - - 2 - - - 4

2 - - - 1 - - - 2

2 - - - 1 - - - 1

Therefore, the Least common multiple is (2 * 2) = 4

Therefore, the smallest number of clients that could be interviewed each day is 4.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

step-by-step explanation:

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c
