The answer is C 100% positive
Answer:
j
Step-by-step explanation:
Substitute the given values into x² + x + 1 and check if result is prime
x = - 4
(- 4)² - 4 + 1 = 16 - 4 + 1 = 13 ← prime
(- 2)² - 2 + 1 = 4 - 2 + 1 = 3 ← prime
(- 3)² - 3 + 1 = 9 - 3 + 1 = 7 ← prime
4² + 4 + 1 = 16 + 4 + 1 = 21 ← not prime
x = 4 serves as a counterexample to disprove this conclusion

Answer:
(C) Nathaniel can build at most 3 birdhouses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
where:
- B represents the number of birds
- H represents the number of Birdhouses
Nathaniel wants to build 50 birds(B) using lego Blocks, we want to determine how many birdhouses(H) he can build with the remaining Lego blocks.
If B=50
Therefore, Nathaniel can build at most 3 Birdhouses.
Explanation:
It helps to understand the process of multiplying the binomials. Consider the simple case ...
(x +a)(x +b)
The product is ...
(x +a)(x +b) = x² +(a+b)x + ab
If the <em>constant</em> term (ab) is <em>negative</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) are <em>different</em>.
If the constant term (ab) is <em>positive</em>, the signs of (a) and (b) will both match the sign of the coefficient of the linear term (a+b).
___
Of course, the sum (a+b) will have the sign of the (a) or (b) value with the largest magnitude, so when the signs of (a) and (b) are different, the factor with the largest magnitude will have the sign of (a+b), the x-coefficient.
<u>Example</u>:
x² -x -6
-6 tells you the factors will have different signs. -x tells you the one with the largest magnitude will be negative.
-6 = -6×1 = -3×2 = ... (other factor pairs have a negative factor with a smaller magnitude)
The sums of these factor pairs are -5 and -1. We want the factor pair that has a sum of -1, the coefficient of x in the trinomial.
x² -x -6 = (x -3)(x +2)
