Prime numbers are numbers that have only one factor pair; 1 and themselves.
Let's start from 21.
21 = 1 x 21, 3 x 7.
This has two factor pairs, this is not prime.
Let's try 22.
22 = 1 x 22, 2 x 11.
This also has two factor pairs, this is not prime.
Let's try 23.
1 x 23.
This is a prime number, as it only has one factor pair; 1 and itself.
23 is your prime number.
I hope this helps!
Ok, i understand now. Your answer should be G.
If you ever have a graphing question got to desmos.com
it helps me a lot. If you plug in any equation, like this one, life will be even easier. lol
We try to factor by maybe grouping
experiment
(x²y³-11x²y)+(6y²-66)
factor
x²y(y²-11)+6(y²-11)
undistribute (y²-11) from each
(x²y+6)(y²-11)
we can force a factor out of the 2nd group in the form of a difference of 2 perfect squares
(x²y+6)(y-√11)(y+√11)
either of those 3 are factors
