Prime numbers are numbers that have only one factor pair; 1 and themselves.

Let's start from 21.

21 = 1 x 21, 3 x 7.
This has two factor pairs, this is not prime.

Let's try 22.

22 = 1 x 22, 2 x 11.
This also has two factor pairs, this is not prime.

Let's try 23.

1 x 23.
This is a prime number, as it only has one factor pair; 1 and itself.

23 is your prime number.

I hope this helps!

How do you connect the ideas of congruency and rigid motion?

natta225 [31]

<span>Rigid motion does not change the shape of an object. if you move an object to another place, you can think of it as a new object (a copy) at the new position and it will be congruent to the object at the original position. or, if two objects are congruent, you can move one object so it lies on top of the other, showing they are congruent.</span>

What are the x-intercepts of the graph of the quadratic function

Svetllana [295]

Zero Product Property: if a × b = 0, then either a or b = 0 or both a and b = 0.

(Make sure to set f(x) to zero)

So for this equation, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -5x^2 and a sum of 4x? That would be 5x and -x. Replace 4x with 5x - x: $0=5x^2+5x-x-1$
