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.

Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

note that 4096 = 8^{4} , then

8^{2x} = 8^{4}

Since bases on both sides are equal, both 8 , then equate the exponents

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

The base of a solid is bounded by the curve y = sqrt (x+1) the x-axis and the line x = 1. the cross sections, taken perpendicula
Andrei [34K]

See attached for a sketch of some of the cross sections.

Each cross section has area equal to the square of the side length, which in turn is the vertical distance between the curve y = √(x + 1) and the x-axis (i.e. the distance between them that is parallel to the y-axis). This distance will be √(x + 1).

If the thickness of each cross section is ∆x, then the volume of each cross section is

∆V = (√(x + 1))² ∆x = (x + 1) ∆x

As we let ∆x approach 0 and take infinitely many such cross sections, the total volume of the solid is given by the definite integral,

\displaystyle \int_{-1}^1 (x+1) \, dx = \left(\frac{x^2}2 + x\right) \bigg|_{-1}^1 = \boxed{2} ~~~~ (B)

Please help me. I bad brain

Answer:

The third X is 6. The fourth Y is 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The Rule : X is twice as large as Y. Y is half the size of X.

You can get this piece of information by looking at the different values.

For example, y=1 is x=2. This follows the rule. x=4 is y=2.

We have confirmed the rule is true, now we just need to carry the information into the other blocks!

Best of luck on the quiz! Please give brainliest if I helped you out!
