Answer:

No, I do not agree with the conjecture because 1 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is one that can be divided by 1 and itself only. Thus it can be expressed in 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself.

Examples are; 2, 3, 5, 13, 19 , 23 etc.

So, 2 = 1 x 2

      3 = 1 x 3

     23 = 1 x 23

Prime numbers must be expressed as the product of 1 and the number.

The conjecture that every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers is false. Because 1 is not a prime number, since it has no 2 factors.

Mashcka [7]
For both lines the slope is 5/2 or 2.5.
Since the y-intercept is zero for both, both the equations are:
y=2.5x
Or
y=5/2x

Hii!

So I did this and I have A!

A: You cannot get the mean from the graph but you CAN get the third quartile!

B: To find the interquartile range (IQR) we subtract the third and first quartiles:

60-35 = 25

C:  An outlier would be much larger than the rest of the data or much smaller than the rest of the data. An outlier would make the "whisker" portion longer and could potentially slightly shift the box.

Solve the formula Ax+By = C for A.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

A = \frac{C - By}{x}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ax + By = C

Required

Solve for A

The question implies that we make A the subject of the formula.

Start by subtracting By from both sides of the equation by x

Ax + By - By= C - By

Ax = C - By

Divide both sides by x

\frac{Ax}{x} = \frac{C - By}{x}

A = \frac{C - By}{x}

<em>Solved</em>
