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:

m = (5x -6)/(43y -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 4m+6 to separate m-terms from other terms.

5x +4m -(4m +6) = 43my +6 -(4m +6)

5x -6 = 43my -4m

5x -6 = m(43y -4) . . . . factor out m

(5x -6)/(43y -4) = m . . . . divide by the coefficient of m

HELP...The volume of a rectangular prism is 36x^6y^8. The length of the prism is 4x^3y^5, and the width of the prism is 3xy^2. W

Margaret [11]

Answer:

$H = 3x^2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$V = 36x&^6y^8$

$L = 4x^3y^5$

$W = 3xy^2$

Required

Find the height of the prism

Volume (V) is calculated as:

$V =LWH$

Substitute values for V, L and W

$36x^6y^8 =4x^3y^5 * 3xy^2 * H$

Make H the subject

$H = \frac{36x^6y^8}{4x^3y^5 * 3xy^2}$

$H = \frac{36x^6y^8}{4*3x^3*x*y^5y^2}$

$H = \frac{36x^6y^8}{12x^4*y^7}$

Divide:

$H = 3x^{6-4}y^{8-7}$

$H = 3x^2y$

The height of the prism is: $3x^2y$
