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

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

A programmer wants to display how the shape of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter of 375 inches can be changed by varying the re
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

A = 187.5L - L^2

So,

g(l) = 187.5l - l^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:

P = 2(L + B)

Where P = perimeter

L = Length

B = Width

Making B the subject of formula, we have;

B = P/2 - L ......1

The area of a rectangle is:

A = L × B ........2

Substituting equation 1 to 2.

A = L × (P/2 - L)

A = LP/2 - L^2 .......3

Given that the perimeter P = 375 inches

A = L(375)/2 - L^2

A = 187.5L - L^2

So,

g(l) = 187.5l - l^2

andres has 10 more goldfish than todd. Together,they have 50 goldfish.How many goldfish does each boy have?
Dmitry [639]
Let's go ahead and construct an equation to show this. Together, they have 50 goldfish. This can be represented as =50. 

Since we don't know how many Todd has, we're going to make a variable. We'll name it T, for Todd.

What about Andres? How many does he have? 10 more than Todd. Well, if Todd's amount is T, and Andres has 10 more, we can express that as T+10.

Now, just put the two pieces together! T+10=50. 

The next step is inverse operations. You want to find out how many T is, so you need to get rid of the 10. To take 10 away from something is doing what? Subtraction! Be warned, though; whatever you do to one side of the problem, you have to do to the other. 10-10 is 0, and 50-10 is 40. Since we took the 10 away and 50 is now 40, what you're left with is T=40.

Wait a second.. wasn't "T" Todd's amount? Yep! That means that Todd has 40 goldfish. And we already know that Andres has 10, so there's your answer!
