588

Step-by-step explanation:

In a factor tree, I mostly like to look from down to up so that I can track down the non-square number. In a square number, there must be two factors that are exactly the same as each other, and when multiplied gives that square number.

So based on the 5 × 5, 2 × 2, and 7 × 7, we can tell that 25, 4 and 49 are all square numbers. We move up one level. Since the factors of 196 are square numbers, 196 is also a square number since it consists of 2² × 7².

We move another step up. 588 consists of 3 and 196. We know that 196 is a square number, but 3 is a prime number, which means that 3 only has a factor of 3 and itself. Thus, 588 is not a perfect square number since there should be a double factor for 3.

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
