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.

Find the GCF of 14a and 28ab
raketka [301]
The GCF would be 14a, because 14a x 1 = 14a, and 14a x 2b = 28ab.

I really need help with this ASAP​
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

No. of boxes = 10

Oranges per box = 56

Total no. of oranges = 56*10=560

No. of bad oranges = 560/40= 14

(i) Probability of bad orange = 14/560 = 1/40

(ii) no of oranges expected to be bad = 14 ( found above)

Hope it helps.............. :)

Solve 3x+2y=7 and x-4y=-21 by using any method
kupik [55]

Answer:

(- 1, 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the method of substitution.

Given the 2 equations

3x + 2y = 7 → (1)

x - 4y = - 21 → (2)

Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by adding 4y to both sides.

x = 4y - 21 → (3)

Substitute x = 4y - 21 into (1)

3(4y - 21) + 2y = 7 ← distribute and simplify left side

12y - 63 + 2y = 7

14y - 63 = 7 ( add 63 to both sides )

14y = 70 ( divide both sides by 14 )

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into (3)

x = (4 × 5) - 21 = 20 - 21 = - 1

Solution is (- 1, 5 )
