Prime numbers are closed under subtraction

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alona [7]3 years ago
6 0

This is false. If we assumed the prime numbers were closed under subtraction, then the difference of any two primes would also get us a prime number.

Take the prime numbers 11 and 7. Their difference, 11 - 7, is 4, but 4 is composite, as it has 2 as a factor other than 1 and 4. All we need is this one counterexample to prove that prime numbers are <em>not </em>closed under subtraction.

The rectangular floor of a classroom is 32 feet in length and 36 feet in width. A scale drawing of the floor has a length of 8 i
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

32 / 8 = 4
36 / 4 = 9

perimeter of rectangle = 2(Length) + 2(width)
P = 2(8) + 2(9)
P = 16 + 18
P = 34

Ana sketched the graphs of f(x)=x^2and g(x)=x^2-6 as shown below. Did she graph both of the functions correctly? Explain how you
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

No.  See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the term x^2 is common to both functions.  g(x) has the same graph as does f(x), except that the graph of g(x) is that of f(x) translated 6 units DOWNward.  Ana mistakenly translated the graph of f(x) UPward.

Find the value of x in the figure below.
masya89 [10]

Answer:

6


Step-by-step explanation:

The figure inside the circle is symmetric.  Therefore, 3x + 5 = 5x - 7.  Solving for x, we subtract 3x from both sides and then add 7 to both sides.  This comes out to 2x = 12, meaning that x must be 6.

The composite figures below are made of right prisms.
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Figure 1's surface area: 550 feet^2

Figure 2's surface area: 530 feet^2

Figure 3's surface area: 790 feet^2

So, the order of the figures' surface areas is: Figure 2 < Figure 1 < Figure 3.

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Bearing in mind that the surface area of a 3D object is the total area of its surface (that is the sum of the areas of its faces), we can count the number of distinct shapes in each figure, calculate their areas and add them up. Be careful not to add the faces that are "inside".

<u>Figure 1</u>

Its surface area consists of 13 squares of 5x5feet^2and 3 rectangles of 15x5feet^2. So, its surface area is (13x25 + 3x75)feet^2 = 550feet^2

<u />

<u>Figure 2</u>

Its surface area consists of 6 squares of 5x5feet^2,  3 rectangles of 17x5feet^2, 1 rectangle of 13x5feet^2 and 2 triangles of base 12 feet and height 5 feet. So, its surface area is (17x5x3+6x5x5+13x5+12x5x2:2)feet^2 = 530feet^2

<u />

<u>Figure 3</u>

Its surface area consists of 2 rectangles of 12.5x5feet^2, 1 rectangle of 11x5feet^2, 2 triangles of base 12 feet and height 5 feet, 1 rectangle of 11x13feet^2, 2 rectangles of 12.5x11feet^2 and 1 rectangle of 12x11feet^2.

So, its surface area is (2x12.5x5+11x5+2x12x5:2+11x13+2x12.5x11+12x11)feet^2 = 790feet^2
