Answer: 2</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
If a number only has one factor pair, then that number must be prime. This is because prime numbers only have factors of 1 and the number itself.
For instance, the value 7 is prime because the only factors of this are 1 and 7.
For something like the number 32, it is composite and not prime because it has the factors {1,2,4,8,16,32} and it leads to these three factor pairs: 1*32, 2*16, 4*8. This is one example showing why the answer isn't composite.
-----------
Let's say that p is the unknown prime we want to find. The factors of this are 1 and p. We're told that "one of the factors is twice the other factor", so that must mean p = 2*1 = 2. We can see that 2 is twice that of 1.
The third box plot is your answer
Answer:
y = 18.38 + 0.0634x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Monthly base charge = $18.38,
Also, the cost of each kilowatt-hours = 6.34 cents = $ 0.0634
( 1 cents = 0.01 dollars ),
So, the cost of x kilowatt-hours = 0.0634x,
If y represents the total monthly charge ( in dollars ) for x kilowatt-hours,
Thus, the total monthly charge for x kilowatt-hours = base charge + cost of x kilowatt-hours,
⇒ y = 18.38 + 0.0634x
Which is the required equation.
