9. Determine whether or not the number 257 is prime.

Answer:

257 is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate if a number is prime, we just need to evaluate it for the prime numbers that are equal or lesser than the said number's square root.

In this case, √257 = 16.03 so we just need to see if 257 is divisible by <u>2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13</u> (the prime numbers that come before 16)

  • 257 is odd, so it is not divisible by 2.
  • The sum of its digits is 14, therefore, it is not divisible by 3.
  • 257 ends in 7, therefore it's not divisible by 5.
  • 257/ 7 = 36.71 so it's not divisible by 7.
  • 257/ 11 = 23.36 so it's not divisible by 11
  • Finally 257 / 13= 19.76 so it's not divisible by 13.

Therefore, 257 is prime.

Compare the enumerators because they have the same denominator. 2 is large than 1 so 2/3 is larger than 1/3

Hope this helps!

The architects side view drawing of a saltbox-style house shows a post that supports the roof ridge. The support post is 10 ft t
pochemuha
These calculations are based on the drawing of the file enclosed.

There are three right triangles.

From the big right triangle:

a^2 + b^2 = 25^2

From the small right triangle on the left side:


(25-x)^2 + 10^2 = a^2

From the small right triangle on the right side

x^2 +10^2 = b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = a^2 + b^2

=> (25-x)^2 + 10^2 + x^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> 25^2 - 50x + x^2 + 10^2 + 10^2 = 25^2

=> x^2 -50x + 100 =0

Use the quadratic formular to find the roots:

x = 2.1 and x = 47.9

Distance from back: 25 - 2.1 = 22.9 ft

Answer: 22.9 ft
