Do even numbers have more factors in odd numbers or do i numbers have more factors than even numbers

1 answer:

4 0

It is because even numbers always have a factor of two, and therefore, larger composite even numbers will have factors of two and other even numbers based around two, such as 4, 8, 16, 32, and so on. On the other hand, numbers which are odd can have factors of 3, 5, and 7 for example, and their numbers based around them(3, 9, 27; 5, 10, 15; 7, 49, 343; and so on). If we look into it, notice how for odd numbers the space between the numbers based around 3, 5, and 7 are increasingly further apart. This is the reason why less large odd integers to have numerous factors. It is because odd numbers cannot have the prime factor 2, this will reduce their factor number. And is is also because even numbers are already divided by 2, this will give them more factors over the odd numbers.

2. What would a point on the horizontal axis represent? What about on the vertical axis?

Nikitich [7]

In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system. As such, these points satisfy x = 0.

A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines, or axes, labeled like number lines. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the origin. The numbers on a coordinate grid are used to locate points.

Answer:

630 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

This problem is most easily solved backward, i.e., from the final data up to the beginning.

There was a new box of cups and the worker at a snack stand opened it. He first used 30 cups from the box and the second day he uses 15% of the remaining cups in the box, and we are told that represents 90 cups.

If 15% (0.15) equals 90 cups, then the number of cups before the second day was 90/0.15 = 600 cups.

On the first day, we used 30 cups, thus the original number of cups in the box was 600+30=630 cups

to start to solve the system of equations below, which number would you multiply in the equation -2x-5y=-1? The two equations ar

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

The first equation can be multiplied by 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-coefficients are -2 and 4. If the first one of these is multiplied by 2, it will be the opposite of the second of these. That is 2·(-2) = -4. When -4 and 4 are added, the result is 0, so the x-variable will be eliminated.

To solve these equations by "elimination", you look for simple relationships between the coefficients that will let you combine them to get zero.

_____

Here's the rest of the solution.

2(-2x-5y) +(4x+2y) = 2(-1) +(8) . . . . after multiplying the first equation by 2 and adding the second equation

-4x -10y +4x +2y = -2 +8 . . . . . the result of eliminating parentheses

-8y = 6 . . . . . the result of collecting terms

y = -6/8 = -3/4 . . . . divide by the y-coefficient

Since all of the coefficients in the second equation are even, a factor of 2 can be removed, and the equation written as ...

2x +y = 4

This can be solved for x, so you have ...

x = (4 -y)/2 = 2 -(y/2)

Filling in the above value of y, we find x to be ...

x = 2 -(-3/4)/2

x = 2 3/8

_____

Comment on eliminating y instead of x

If you divide the second equation by 2 so that y has a coefficient of 1, then you can multiply this equation by 5 to give y a coefficient that is the opposite of the coefficient -5 in the first equation. Then the elimination looks like

(-2x -5y) +5(2x +y) = (-1) +5(4)

-2x -5y +10x +5y = -1 +20 . . . . eliminate parentheses

8x = 19 . . . . simplify

x = 19/8 = 2 3/8 . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
