Answer:

B: 2⁷-1 = 127

Step-by-step explanation:

A Mersenne prime is a prime of the form 2^n -1, where n is also a prime.

Among the answer choices, neither 90=2·3²·5 nor 15=3·5 is prime. Both 2⁷-1 = 127 and 2¹¹-1 = 2047 are of the right form, but 2047 = 23·89 is a composite number.

2⁷-1 = 127 is a Mersenne prime

Answer:

The length of diagonal d is 14.1421 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given square

Length of side of square = 10 cm

We need to find the length of diagonal d

To find diagonal of square, the formula used is:

$Diagonal\: of\: square=s\sqrt{2}$

where s is length of side of square.

Putting values of s and finding length of diagonal of square

$Diagonal\: of\: square=s\sqrt{2}\\Diagonal\: of\: square=10\sqrt{2}\\Diagonal\: of\: square=10(1.41421)\\Diagonal\: of\: square=14.1421\:cm$

So, The length of diagonal d is 14.1421 cm

$0.25 x 6 =150

$0.5 x 12 =60

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to x=5y-8 and pass through (6, -5) in slope intercept form

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

y=1/5x-31/5 (or y=0.2x-6.2 in decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=5y-8 (original equation)

x+8=5y (Addition Property of Equality)

1/5x+8/5=y (Division Property of Equality, slope of original equation is 1/5)

y-y1=m(x-x1) (point-slope formula)

y-(-5))=1/5(x-(6)) (plug in the slope that was found earlier and the point given in the question)

y+5=1/5(x-6)

y+5=1/5x-6/5 (Distributive Property of Multiplication) Note: 5 = 25/5

y=1/5x-31/5 (Subtraction Property of Equality, and there's your answer)

y=0.2x-6.2 (This is the same answer, but written with decimals)
