What is the product of the two integer values for $x$ for which $|x^2 - 16|$ is a prime number?

Mathematics

Nana76 [90]3 years ago

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

x² -16 = (x -4)(x +4)

This magnitude of this product can only be prime if one of the factors is ±1. Any other integer value of x will produce a composite number (or zero).

... For x-4 = ±1, x = 3 or 5

... For x+4 = ±1, x = -3 or -5

The values of x that are ±3 both give |x²-16| = 7, a prime.

The values of x that are ±5 both give |x²-16| = 9, not a prime.

The two values of x that are of interest are x=-3 and x=3. Their product is ...

... (-3)·(3) = -9

Olin [163]

Answer:

1/36

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 numbers on a die. You have a 1/6 chance of rolling a 3 and a 1/6 chance of rolling a 4. 1/6 times 1/6 = 1/36.

Which of the following values are in the range of the function graphed below
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Range of the given function = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Range is the set of output values.

In a graph, the set of x-values of the function is know as domain and the set of y-values of the function is known as range.

In the graph red line represents the function.

From the given graph it is clear that the function is defined from x=-1 to x=4.

For each value of x the y-value is -4.

Hence, the range of the function is -4.

Find the area of an equilateral triangle with radius 22 cm. Round to the nearest whole number.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:this item, we are given with the radius equal to 22 cm.

In this measurement of the radius is the hypotenuse of the 30°-60°-90° triangle formed with the half the measurement of the side of the equilateral triangle being opposite to the 60°  and equal to the hypotenuse times (1/2)(√3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let s be the side of the triangle then,

                 s/2 = r(1/2)(√3)

Multiplying the equation by 2,

                 s = r√3

Substituting,

              s = (22 cm)(√3) = 22√3

The area of the equilateral triangle is computed through the equation,

         A = (√3 / 4)(s²)

Substituting,

         A = (√3 / 4)(22√3)² = 628.7 cm²

Therefore, the answer to this item is the first choice.
