Answer:
A number, such as 10 is a composite number because it is even.
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Put -1 where x is in each expression and evaluate it.
__
You will find that the expression is zero when the numerator is zero. And you will find the numerator is zero when it has a factor that is equivalent to ...
(x +1)
Substituting x=-1 into this factor makes it be ...
(-1 +1) = 0
__
Evaluating the first expression, we have ...

This first expression is one you want to "check."
You can see that the reason the expression is zero is that x+1 has a sum of zero. You can look for that same sum in the other expressions. (The tricky one is the one with the factor (x -(-1)). You know, of course, that -(-1) = +1.)
Answer:
5 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of the tub is the product of its dimensions:
V = (1.8 m)(0.5 m)(0.25 m) = 0.225 m³
There are 1000 L in 1 m³, so this volume in liters is ...
(0.225 m³)(1000 L/m³) = 225 L
At 50 L per bag, the gardener needs ...
(225 L)/(50 L/bag) = 4.5 bags
The gardener probably cannot purchase a partial bag, so must buy more than is needed.
The gardener must buy 5 bags of compost to fill the tub.
