What best describes the number 5? write prime, composite, neither prime nor composite, or both.

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Prime is the best option describes the number 5.The number 5 is a prime because prime can be divided evenly by 1, or itself. And it must be a whole number greater than 1.But 6 can be divided evenly by 1, 2, 3 and 6 so it is NOT a prime number (it is a composite number).</span>

Find 3 + (-9)

AURORKA [14]

9 is in parentheses therefore it's elevated above 3 that means you have to do operations on it first.
3 + (-9) = -6
The sum is negative.

How do you solve an absolute value equation?

Mkey [24]

The distance between two real numbers $x,y$ is the absolute value of their difference, $|x-y|$ . So the statement "all $x$ that are 1/4 away from -6" is captured in the equation

$|x-(-6)|=\dfrac14$

$|x+6|=\dfrac14$

To solve, you can use the definition of absolute value: if $x$ is not negative, then $|x|=x$ ; otherwise, $|x|=-x$ .

So there are two cases to consider:

1. Suppose $x+6\ge0$ . Then $|x+6|=x+6$ , and the equation reduces to

$x+6=\dfrac14\implies x=-\dfrac{23}4$

2. Suppose $x+6$ . Then $|x+6|=-(x+6)=-x-6$ and

$-x-6=\dfrac14\implies x=-\dfrac{25}4$

$-6=-\dfrac{24}4$ , so the two solutions we found are correct because both $-\dfrac{23}4$ and $-\dfrac{25}4$ are indeed 1/4 away from -6.

- - -

For the question regarding inequality, you know that the absolute value must return a non-negative number. In other words, there is no $x$ such that $|x|$ .
