Are prime numbers a set closed under addition?

Mathematics
1 answer:
disa [49]3 years ago
3 0

While answering questions on Brainly, I ran into a lot of them
that talked about a set being 'closed'.  I didn't know what that
means, so do ya know what I did ?  I went and looked it up. 
I found it, and then I read about it, and now I know what it means !

A set that's 'closed under addition' means that if you add two numbers
in the set, you get another number that's also in the set.

Let's see:

-- 3 is a prime number
-- 5 is a prime number
-- (3+5) = 8
-- 8 is NOT a prime number

-- We added two prime numbers and got a number that is NOT prime.
   So the set of prime numbers is NOT closed under addition.

An ol television was sold for $30 at a loss of20%. find cost in price with explanation ​
marusya05 [52]
Well I’m guessing it went down by 20% to get to thirty pounds so

30 x 1.2 = $36 original price

Or if it’s lowered by 20% then

30 x 0.8 = $24

Answer:

you have to use the Pythagorean theorem. a^2 + b^2= c^2

72^2 + b^2 = 75^2

5184 + b^2 = 5625 (subtract 5184 from both sides)

b^2= 441 (find the square root of each side)

b= 21
