Answer: Prime

Step-by-step explanation: To find out if 7 is a prime or composite number, we can begin by finding the factors of 7.

7 ÷ 1 = 7

This means that 1 and 7 are factors. Notice however that 7 does not divide evenly between 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. The only other number that 7 divides by evenly is 7. When we divided 7 by 7, we get 1. Notice however that 7 and 1 are repeat factors so we can stop. This means that the factors of 7 are 1 and 7. When a number only has 2 factors, it's called a prime number. Therefore, 7 is considered a prime number.

Wawa pays $100 for 5 hours work. 7-11 pays $200 for 9 hours work. Which job should u take?

yawa3891 [41]

Obviously 7-11 is you’re looking for more profit over free time. Simple math here, 5x2=10 meaning you’d get the same amount of pay while working one extra hour at Wawa’s. That hour extra may not seem like much but it adds up over time.

What does a vector do to a translation

Alona [7]

Answer:

A translation vector is a type of transformation that moves a figure in the coordinate plane from one location to another. In other words, a translation vector can be thought of as a slide with no rotating. The slide won’t change the shape or size of the figure, and with no rotation, the orientation won’t change either.

HELP PLEASE Simplify the rational expression. State any excluded values. x^2-12x+35/x^2-3x-10

Alborosie

$\frac{{x}^{2} - 12x + 35 }{ {x}^{2} - 3x - 10 }$
Factorise both the term by splitting the mid term and you'll get

$\frac{ {x}^{2} - 5x - 7x + 35}{ {x}^{2} - 5x + 2x - 10 } \\ = \frac{x(x - 5) - 7(x - 5)}{x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)} \\ = \frac{(x - 7)(x - 5)}{(x + 2)(x - 5)} \\ = \frac{x - 7}{x + 2}$
