Answer:

Option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the pattern as the exponent decreases.

the first value in the table is 125.

if we divide 125 by 5 i.e 125/5 we get 25

the next value in the table is 25

if we divide 25 by 5 i.e 25/5 we get 5

the next value in the table is 5

if we divide 5 by 5 i.e 5/5 we get 1

the next value in the table is 1

if we divide 1 by 5 i.e 1/5 we get 1/5

the next value in the table is 1/5

if we divide 1/5 by 5 i.e 1/5*5 we get 1/25

the next value in the table is 1/25

So, the pattern is if we divide the previous value by 5 we get the next value in the table.

So, Option C is correct.

Factorize both quadratic polynomials, as shown below

$\begin{gathered} a^2-3a-4=0 \\ \Rightarrow a=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{9+16}}{2}=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{25}}{2}=\frac{3\pm5}{2}\Rightarrow a=-1,4 \\ \Rightarrow a^2-3a-4=(a+1)(a-4) \\ \end{gathered}$

Similarly,

$\begin{gathered} a^2+5a+4=0 \\ \Rightarrow a=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{25-16}}{2}=\frac{-5\pm3}{2}\Rightarrow a=-1,-4 \\ \Rightarrow a^2+5a+4=(a+1)(a+4) \end{gathered}$

Thus,

$\Rightarrow\frac{a^2-3a-4}{a^2+5a+4}=\frac{(a+1)(a-4)}{(a+1)(a+4)}$

Therefore, since the denominator cannot be equal to zero.

<h2>The variable restrictions for the original expression are a≠-1,-4</h2>

Then, provided that a is different than -1,

$\Rightarrow\frac{a^2-3a-4}{a^2+5a+4}=\frac{x-4}{x+4}$ <h2>The rational expression in the lowest terms is (x-4)/(x+4)</h2>

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

gregori [183]

<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>
