Answer:

n does not have a defined value, but it has only one value, it is only possible to determined it in an equality let's say that 5n+21=26 there n =1

but we don't know the value

so it stays as 5n+21

To solve for n you have to get n by itself. To do that you first subtract 21 then divide by 5.

5n=-21
n=-21/5 or n=-4.2

9. Determine whether or not the number 257 is prime.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

257 is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate if a number is prime, we just need to evaluate it for the prime numbers that are equal or lesser than the said number's square root.

In this case, √257 = 16.03 so we just need to see if 257 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13 (the prime numbers that come before 16)

257 is odd, so it is not divisible by 2.

The sum of its digits is 14, therefore, it is not divisible by 3.

257 ends in 7, therefore it's not divisible by 5.

257/ 7 = 36.71 so it's not divisible by 7.

257/ 11 = 23.36 so it's not divisible by 11

Finally 257 / 13= 19.76 so it's not divisible by 13.

Therefore, 257 is prime.

A family went to a baseball game. The cost to park cars was $5 and the cost per ticket was $21. Write a linear function in the f

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The total cost $y$ in dollars of going to the baseball game for $x$ people of a family can be given as:

$y=21x+5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

At a baseball game:

Cost of car parking = $5

Cost per ticket = $21

To write an equation in the form of $y=mx+b$ representing the total cost of going to the baseball game.

Solution:

The total number of people in the family is = $x$

Using unitary method to find the cost of tickets for $x$ persons.

If 1 ticket costs = $21

Then, $x$ tickets will cost in dollars = $21x$

Fixed rate for car parking = $5

Thus, the total cost $y$ in dollars of going to the baseball game for $x$ people of a family can be given as:

$y=21x+5$

Find the length of each side of the triangle determined by the three points P1,P2, and P3. State whether the triangle is an isos

Tanya [424]

Answer:

The triangle is both an Isosceles triangle and a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the vertices of a triangle.

$P_{1} = (- 1, 4)$

$P_{2} = (6, 2)$ and

$P_{3} = (4, - 5)$

We find the distance between all the points to determine the length of each side of the triangle.

Distance between any two points, say, $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ is:

$\sqrt{\bigg ( \textbf{x}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- x}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg )^{\textbf{2}} \textbf{+} \bigg( \textbf{y}_{\textbf{2}} \hspace{1mm} \textbf{- y}_{\textbf{1}} \bigg)^ {\textbf{2}}$

Length between $P_1$ and $P_{2}$ , (Side 1) :

$(x_1, y_1) = (- 1, 4)$ and

$(x_2, y_2) = (6, 2)$

Distance = $\sqrt{\bigg(6 - (-1) \bigg)^{2} \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( 2 - 4 \bigg )^2$

$= \sqrt{7^2 + 2^2}$

$= \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$= \sqrt{\textbf{53}}$

Length of Side 1 = $\sqrt{\textbf{53}}$ units.

Distance between $P_1$ and $P_2$ , (Side 2):

$(x_1, y_1) = (-1, 4)$

$(x_2, y_2) = (4, - 5)$

Distance = $\sqrt{ \bigg( 4 + 1 \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} + \bigg( - 5 - 4 \bigg ) ^2$

$= \sqrt{ 25 + 81 }$

$= \sqrt{\textbf{106}}$

Length of Side 2 = $\sqrt{\textbf{106}}$ units.

Distance between $P_2$ and $P_3$ , Side 3 :

$(x_1, y_1) = (4, 5)$

$(x_2, y_2) = (6, 2)$

Distance = $\sqrt{ 2^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} 7^2}$

$= \sqrt{49 + 4}$

$= \sqrt{\textbf{53}$

Length of Side 3 = $\sqrt{\textbf{53}}$ units.

Note that the length of Side 1 = Length of Side 3.

That means the triangle is Isosceles.

Also, For a triangle to be right angle triangle, using Pythagoras theorem we have:

(Side 1)² + (Side 3)² = (Side 2)²

$\bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg )^2 \hspace{1mm} + \hspace{1mm} \bigg( \sqrt{53} \bigg)^2 \hspace{1mm} = \hspace{1mm} \bigg ( \sqrt{106} \bigg ) ^2$

i.e, 53 + 53 = 106

Hence, the triangle is a right - angled triangle as well.
