La profesora de matemáticas solicita a dos estudiantes que describan las cosas que les han parecido interesantes de los números

primos y de los números compuestos, a lo que dos estudiantes responden: Paola: he descubierto que cualquier número compuesto par se puede escribir como la multiplicación de factores primos. Edwin: he descubierto que cualquier número compuesto impar se puede escribir como la suma de dos números primos. La profesora pide a los estudiantes que examinen las ideas expuestas por Paola y Edwin y verifiquen si son verdaderas o falsas. De acuerdo con las afirmaciones hechas por Paola y Edwin es CORRECTO afirmar que A. ambas afirmaciones son falsas. B. ambas afirmaciones son verdaderas. C. la afirmación de Paola es falsa y la de Edwin es verdadera. D. la afirmación de Paola es verdadera y la de Edwin es falsa. The math teacher asks two students to describe the things they found interesting about the prime and composite numbers, to which two students respond:
Paola: I have discovered that any even compound number can be written as the multiplication of prime factors.
Edwin: I have discovered that any odd compound number can be written as the sum of two prime numbers.

The teacher asks students to examine the ideas put forth by Paola and Edwin and check to see if they are true or false.

According to the statements made by Paola and Edwin, it is CORRECT to affirm that

TO.
both statements are false.

B.

Answer:

Respuesta D

Step-by-step explanation:

Paola afirma: Todo número compuesto par, se puede escribir como la multiplicación de factores primos.

Esta afirmación es cierta, pues es un caso  de la afirmación de que todo número natural mayor que uno se puede escribir como multiplicación de números primos. A este proceso se le llama descomposición en factores primos.

Edwin afirma: Todo número compuesto impar se puede escribir como la suma de dos números primos.

Esta afirmación es falsa. Note que al sumar dos números impares de la forma 2k+1 y 2m+1 para k distinto de m, se obtiene

2k+1+2m+1 = 2(km+1)

Es decir, la suma de dos números impares es siempre par.

Note que a excepción de 2, todo número primo es impar. Para que esta afirmación fuera cierta, necesariamente tendría que pasar que cualquier número impar k se escriba de la forma p+2 donde p es un número primo. Esto es equivalente que para cualquier número impar k, el número k-2 sea primo.

Basta con dar un ejemplo para ver que esto no pasa. Tomemos k=11. En este caso, k-2 = 9, el cuál no es un número primo. Entonces 11 no se puede  descomponer como la suma de dos números primos.

an express bus left town A at 18:15 hours and reached town B at 21:05 hours.how long did the journy take?
Dimas [21]
Hi!

Let's make a small chart

18:15 left town B
19:15 1 hour
20:15 2 hours
21:15 3 hours 

Since they actually arrived at 21:05, and not 21:15, we know it took more than 2 hours, but less than 3 hours. 

Subtract the extra time
21:15-21:05 = 00:10

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, (60-10=50) we know it took 2 hours and 50 minutes. 

Another way to solve this would be to convert the times to decimals, and subtract,
21.05-18.15 = 2.9
Then convert the decimal to the time. 

9/10 of an hour = 50 minutes
It took 2 hours and 50 minutes

Hope this helps! :)

Mike has a board that is 38 inches long. How many feet and inches is the board?
stiv31 [10]
3 feet and 2 inches because there are 12 inches in a foot you would have to divide 36 by 12 which would give you 3 feet and a left over of 2 inches

Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 4 cm and one of its legs measures 3 cm. Find the measure of the other leg. If necess
hodyreva [135]

Applying the Pythagorean theorem, the measure of the other leg, to the nearest tenth, is: 2.6 cm.

<h3>What is the Pythagorean Theorem?</h3>

In a right triangle, where the lengths of its two legs are a and b, and the hypotenuse length is c, the Pythagorean theorem states that: c² = a² + b².

Given the following parameters of the right triangle:

  • c = 4 cm
  • a = 3 cm
  • b = ? (other leg)

Apply the Pythagorean theorem:

b = √(4² - 3²)

b = 2.6 cm (nearest tenth)

Thus, applying the Pythagorean theorem, the measure of the other leg, to the nearest tenth, is: 2.6 cm.
