Prime factors are factors of a composite number that are indivisible except by the number 1 or the number itself. The answers to your questions are the following:

1. Yes, it is possible especially for very large numbers. 
2&3. No, because as mentioned previously, the default prime factors of numbers are 1 and the number itself. For example, 2 is a prime number. Its factors are 1 and 2.
4. Prime factorization are useful in fields of encryption. They make use of the basic prime numbers for the arithmetic modulus with the general equation: n=pq.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

8x + 4 - z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

The distance from her house to school is 2x+5 The distance from the school to the park is z If the total distance she was that day is 10x +9 how far is it from the park back to her

Distance from house to school = 2x + 5

Distance from school to park = z

Total distance covered = 10x + 9

Distance from park to house =?

Total distance = (distance from house to school + distance from school to park + distance from park to house)

Let p = distance from park to house

10x + 9 = (2x + 5 + z + p)

10x + 9 - 2x - 5 - z = p

8x + 4 - z

One line passes through the point (-8,1) and (4,4). Another line passes through points (-9,-7) and (9,-3). Are the lines paralle
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the relationship between the lines, find the slope of each. You can do this by using the slope formula.

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

m = (4 - 1)/(4 - -8)

m = 3/12

m = 1/4

Now do so for the second line.

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

m = (-3 - -7)/(9 - -9)

m = 4/18

m = 2/9

Since they are not the same and not opposite/reciprocal, then we know they are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

The money m (in £) Xavier has to spend each week is his wage w (in £) subtract the tax t (in £) he pays on his income. Enter a f
Otrada [13]

Answer: The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the money m (in £) Xavier has to spend each week is his wage w (in £) subtract the tax t (in £) he pays on his income. Therefore, the formula for the money he can spend will be:

m = w - t

The amount of money that he has to spend if he earns £120 a week and pays £41 in tax will be:

m = w - t

m = £120 - £41

m = £79

The tree diagram below shows all of the possible outcomes for flipping three coins.
creativ13 [48]

The probability that two of the coins will be tails is 1/2

It is 1/2 because "at least two tails" means that two tails and the rest of the number of tails, which is 3. In total the three coins have 6 sides. The chance of having two tails and one is three out of 6, simplified is 1/2 ;)
