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.

Natali [406]
For this case, the first thing you should do is pass the number given to percentage.
 We have then:
 b = 1.35
 The percentage is:
 (1.35) * (100) = 135%
 Therefore, the growth is:
 135% - 100% = 35%
 Answer:
 
If b = 1.35, the annual percent growth rate of the number of horses would be 35%.
