how many of the first ten positive whole numbers can be expressed as the sum of two different prime numbers?

1 answer:

7 0

1 = Not Possible
2 = Not Possible
3 = Not Possible
4 = 2 + 2 
5 = 2 + 3 
6 = 3 + 3 
7 = 2 + 5 
8 = 3 + 5 
9 = 2 + 7 
10 = 3 + 7
Taking into account that there must be two "Different" prime numbers, that leaves 5, 7, 8, 9, and 10. So 5 of the first 10 whole numbers.

Answer: е) Step-by-step explanation: we know the coordinates of the points so we can easily determine which function this is To begin with, let's take any two points with an integer coordinates let these be two points with coordinates (1 ; 4) and (0 ; 3) Now let's check $a) \ \displaystyle\bf 4=\sqrt[3]{1-3} \ \ wrong$ and all other options except option e are incorrect because $\displaystyle\ e) \sqrt[3]{1} +3=4 \ \ right$
