Can a prime number be a multiple of any other number except itself. Explain why or why not

No, by definition a prime number is one where the only factors are 1 and itself. If some prime number is a multiple of another number, then that other number is a factor of the prime number. But that would make it composite (non-prime)

For example, the number 11 is prime. The only factors are 1 and itself. If we made the claim that 11 is a multiple of 2, then 2 would be a factor of 11 making 11 non-prime (as it doesn't just have 1 and itself as factors).

Note: If you have two numbers A and B, and you say that A is a factor of B, then A is the smaller value. Though there is the exception when A = B. For example, saying "8 is a factor of 16" has 8 being the smaller value.

Another note: if you say "A is a multiple of B", then B is larger than A. The exception is when A = B. Example: "100 is a multiple of 5"

If cos Θ = negative 4 over 7, what are the values of sin Θ and tan Θ?
FinnZ [79.3K]
Given cos theta is equal to - 4/ 7 then we can conclude that theta is in the second and third quadrants. In this case, the other leg is equal to square root of (7^2 - 4^2 ) equal to square root of 33. In this case, sin theta can be equal to +- square root of 33 / 7 and tan theta is equal to +-square root of 33 / 4.

I have inserted the image below. This is a test so I would like the most correct answers and working out if possible

Answer: 3 * n = 15

5 students tried out for the baseball team.

Step-by-step explanation:

n is the amount of kids who tried to try out for the baseball team.

15 kids tried out for the hockey team, and that’s 3 times as many as the amount who tried out for the baseball team, so 3 times n = 15, or 3 * 5 =15

hope this helped!

What is the value of 4(x - 2)(x + 3) + 7(x - 2)(x - 5) - 6(x - 3)(x - 5) when x = 5?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation

4(x - 2)(x + 3) + 7(x - 2)(x - 5) - 6(x - 3)(x - 5)

4(5 - 2)(5 + 3) = 12(8) = 96

7(5 - 2)(5 - 5) = 0

- 6(5 - 3)(5 - 5)= 0

96+0-0 = 96
