Why is 1 not a prime number and why would any negative number not be considered prime?

<h2>Answer:</h2><h2>The definition of a prime number is a positive integer that has exactly 2 positive divisors.</h2><h2>However 1 has only one positive divisor so it is not prime.</h2><h2>Negative integers can not be prime. Negative numbers are excluded. In fact they are given no though </h2>

\bf (2x+3)^5\implies &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;term&coefficient&value\\&#10;-----&-----&-----\\&#10;1&&(2x)^5(+3)^0\\&#10;2&+5&(2x)^4(+3)^1\\&#10;3&+10&(2x)^3(+3)^2\\&#10;4&+10&(2x)^2(+3)^3\\&#10;5&+5&(2x)^1(+3)^4\\&#10;6&+1&(2x)^0(+3)^5&#10;\end{array}

as you can see, the terms exponents, for the first term, starts at highest, 5 in this case, then every element it goes down by 1, till it gets to 0

for the second term, starts at 0, and every element it goes up by 1, till it gets to the highest

now, to get the coefficient, they way I get it, is "the product of the current coefficient and the exponent of the first term, divided by the exponent of the second term plus 1"

notice the first coefficient is always 1

so...how did we get 10 for the 3rd element?  well, 5*4/2
how did we get 10 for the fourth element?  well, 10*2/4


\bf (2x-3y)^4\implies &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;term&coefficient&value\\&#10;-----&-----&-----\\&#10;1&&(2x)^4(-3y)^0\\&#10;2&+4&(2x)^3(-3y)^1\\&#10;3&+6&(2x)^2(-3y)^2\\&#10;4&+4&(2x)^1(-3y)^3\\&#10;5&+1&(2x)^0(-3y)^4&#10;\end{array}


\bf (3a+4b)^8\implies &#10;\begin{array}{llll}&#10;term&coefficient&value\\&#10;-----&-----&-----\\&#10;1&&(3a)^8(+4b)^0\\&#10;2&+8&(3a)^7(+4b)^1\\&#10;3&+28&(3a)^6(+4b)^2\\&#10;4&+56&(3a)^5(+4b)^3\\&#10;5&+70&(3a)^4(+4b)^4\\&#10;6&+56&(3a)^3(+4b)^5\\&#10;7&+28&(3a)^2(+4b)^6\\&#10;8&+8&(3a)^1(+4b)^7\\&#10;9&+1&(3a)^0(+4b)^8&#10;\end{array}

and from there, you can simplify the elements of the expansion by combining the coefficients

like for example, the 7th element of (3a+4b)⁸ will then be 1032192a²b⁶

I need help with this asap please !! find the value of X
elena-s [515]

Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

By using angle bisector theorem,

"Bisector of an angle divides the opposite side of the angle into two segments such that they are proportional to the other two sides.

\frac{AC}{CD}= \frac{AB}{BD}

\frac{8}{4}=\frac{x+3}{x-4}

8(x - 4) = 4(x + 3)

8x - 32 = 4x + 12

8x - 4x = 32 + 12

4x = 44

x = 11

Therefore, value of x is 11.

What is the scale factor in the dilation ?<br><br>1/6<br><br>1/3<br><br>3<br><br>6​
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1) Find two corresponding lengths between the image and the pre-image</u>

Pre-image (bottom side) = 3 units

Image (bottom side) = 9 units

We can use any corresponding lengths for this step.

<u>2) Divide the length of the side from the image by the length of the side from the pre-image</u>

9 units ÷ 3 units

= 3

Therefore, the scale factor of the dilation is 3.

I hope this helps!
