Why are all prime numbers odd except 2?<span>But if a number is divisible only by itself and by 1, then it is prime. So, because allthe other even numbers are divisible by themselves, by 1, and by 2, they are allcomposite (just as all the positive multiples of 3, except 3, itself, are composite).hope it helps</span>

Because if it was even, then it would be divisble by 2 which makes it not prime

Answer:

After 9 years the account will be worth 13709.60$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We are given the following in the question:

P = $8000

r = 6% = 0.046

n = 12

The compound interest is given by:

$A = p\bigg(1+\dfrac{r}{n}\bigg)^{nt}$

where A is the amount, p is the principal, r is the interest rate, t is the time in years.

Putting the values, we get,

$13709.60 = 8000\bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\dfrac{13709.60}{8000} = \bigg(1+\dfrac{0.06}{12}\bigg)^{12t}\\\\\Rightarrow 1.7137 = (1.005)^{12t}\\\Rightarrow t \approx 9$
