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.

Solve for x. x2 + 4x - 21 = 0<br> A. -3, -7<br> B. -3, 7<br> C. 3, -7<br> D. 3, 7
julia-pushkina [17]

Please, use " ^ " to denote exponentiation: x^2 + 4x - 21 = 0


Factor: (x+7)(x-3)=0


Solve for the 2 roots: x= -7 and x= 3: {3, -7} Note how this is in set notation.

Find an angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees that is coterminal with 950 degrees
QveST [7]

Answer:

40 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

(to find coterminal angles to a given angle, we add 360 degrees to the given angle or subject 360 degrees from the given angle any angle any number of time).

-1400 degrees is negative angl, so to get the coterminal angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees ( the smallest positive coterminal angle), we must add multiples of 360 degrees until we get a possitive coterminal angle:

-1400 degrees+(360 degrees*4)

=-1400 degrees+1440

=40 degrees

so the answer is 40 degrees
