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

There is a bag filled with 4 blue, 3 red and 5 green marbles.
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

You are selecting marbles with replacement. The marble selections (trials) are independent and the marble selection follows the binomial distribution.

The probability of selecting a red marble the first time is 1313.

(This is because 4 out of 12 marbles are red and412412 reduces to 1313.

The probability of selecting a red marble the second time is 1313.

The marble selections are independent and you can multiply the two probabilities to get the following:

probability of getting 2 reds = (13)2(13)2

=19=19.

So the probability of getting two reds is 1919.

Write the equation 12 − y = 2x − 5 in slope-intercept form. What are the slope and y-intercept? A. y=2x−17,m=2, y-intercept (0,−
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

12-y=2x-5

+5        +5  ( add 5 to both sides)

17-y=2x

-17    -17  (Subtract 17 to get y by itself)

-y=2x-17

divide by -1 because y cant be negative

y=-2x+17

m=-2 and y-intercept= 17

I hope thats right :)
