The square of a prime number is not prime.

a) let x ∈ R, If x  ∈ {prime numbers}, then x^{2}∉{prime numbers}

there says that if x is a real and x is in the set of the prime numbers, then the square of x isn't in the set of prime numbers.

b) Prove or disprove the statement.

ok, if x is a prime number, then x only can be divided by himself. Now is easy to see that x^{2} = x*x can be divided by himself and x, then x*x is not a prime number, because can be divided by another number different than himself

Which vector best describes the translation below?
Nimfa-mama [501]
<h3>Answer: Choice A)  <9,0></h3>

Explanation:

Focus on one of the points in the figure on the left. Let's say we go for the upper left corner point (-7, 4)

Notice it moves to the corresponding image point (2,4). It has shifted 9 units to the right to follow the translation rule (x,y) \to (x+9, y). We've added 9 to the x coordinate, and the y coordinate stays the same.

This notation can be shortened to <9, 0>

In general, the notation (x,y) \to (x+a, y+b) is shortened to the translation vector notation < a, b >. In this case, a = 9 and b = 0.

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

how long is the ball in the air ?

that is the same as asking : after how many seconds will the ball hit the ground (= reach the height of 0) ?

so, that means we need to find the zero solution of h(t).

at what t is h(t) = 0 ?

when at least one of the factors is 0 :

2(-2 - 4t)(2t - 5)

we have 3 factors

2 : can never be 0.

(-2 -4t) : can only be 0 for negative t, which does not make sense in our scenario (we cannot go back in time, only forward).

(2t - 5) : is 0 when 2t = 5 or t = 2.5

so, A is the right answer.

FYI : the starting height (on the hill) is given by t = 0 :

2(-2 - 0)(0 - 5) = 2×-2×-5 = 20 ft
