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.

kvasek [131]
Hey Jay,
Since we can't see the graphs, we can't be entirely sure, but given that we are trying to model the population size of a species of bird that is slowly going extinct. I would say the best graph would be a line graph. Line graphs show changes over time so this would be the best graph to use. Hope this helped!

Cheers,
Izzy

Miguel invests money in an account paying simple interest. He invests $170 and no money is added or removed from the investment.
stiv31 [10]

~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\dotfill & \$185.30\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$170\\ r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ 185.30=170[1+(\frac{r}{100})(1)]\implies \cfrac{185.30}{170}=1+\cfrac{r}{100}\implies \cfrac{109}{100}=\cfrac{100+r}{100} \\\\\\ 109=100+r\implies \stackrel{\%}{9}=r
