If n is an odd number greater than or equal to 3, can n + 1 ever be prime? What if n equals 1?

No, because when adding 1 to any odd number it will become even, and all even numbers besides 2 are not prime. This means that if n was 1 the resulting number would be prime, since 2 is prime.

Find the value of x^2 + 1 divided by x^2 if x-1 divided by x =5
MrRa [10]

Answer:

x^2+1/x^2

(x+1/x)^2 = x^2+1/x^2 +2

(5)^2 = x^2+1/x^2 + 2

25 = x^2+1/x^2 + 2

25-2 = x^2+1/x^2

23 = x^2+1/x^2

Z varies jointly as x and y. z=60 when x=5 and y=6. find z when x = 7 and y=3
Aneli [31]

Answer:

z = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

The question can be answered in 2 steps as follows:

Step 1: Calculation of the constant of the variation

The equation for the joint variation can be given as follows:

z = cxy ................... (1)

Where;

z = 60

c = constant = ?

x = 5

y = 6

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve c, we have:

60 = c * 5 * 6

60 = c * 30

c = 60 / 30

c = 2

Step 2: find z when x = 7 and y = 3

Since from Step 1 c = 2, we now use equation (1) and substitute the values into it to find z as follows:

z = 2 * 7 * 3

z = 42

Trevor has two fraction models, each divided into equal-sized sections. The
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

I will answer in a general way because the options are not given.

We know that the area of model A is smaller than the area of model B.

For model A, we have 72 shaded sections, out of 100.

Then the quotient of model A is:

72/100 = 0.72

For model B we have 10 sections, and x shaded ones.

Because model B is greater than model A, we know that:

x/10 should be larger than 72/100

then we have the inequality:

x/10 > 0.72

x > 0.72*10

x > 7.2

And we can not have more than 10 shaded sections (because there is a total of 10 sections) then:

10 ≥ x > 7.2

Then x can be any whole number in that interval.

the possible values of x are:

x = 8

x = 9

x = 10
