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.

What is the simplified value of the exponential expression 16 superscript one-fourth? 2 4
USPshnik [31]

The simplified value of the exponential expression is 2.

<h3>How to get the simplified expression?</h3>

Here we need to simplify the expression:

16^{1/4}

First, you need to remember that:

\sqrt[n]{x} = x^{1/n}

Then we can just write:

16^{1/4} = \sqrt[4]{16}

And now, you can remember that:

2*2 = 4

Then:

2*2*2*2 = 4*4 = 16

From this, we can conclude that:

2^4 = 16\\\\\sqrt[4]{16} = 2

So we conclude that the simplified value is 2.

∠1 and ∠2 form a straight angle. ∠1 has a measure of 28°.<br> What is the measure of ∠2? PLZ HELP
Natalka [10]

Answer:

∠2 = 152

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight angle should always equal 180, and that is really the key to how we answer this problem. That means that ∠1 and ∠2 are supplementary, and add up to 180°.

That means that 180-28, will give us our other angle.
