4n² - 15n + 14<span> is always the product of two numbers, for it to be prime number, one of these factors must be either 1 or -1.

Case n - 2 = 1
That would be n = 3
Then </span>4n² - 15n + 14<span> = 5 , which is prime.

Case n - 2 = -1
That would be n = 1
Then </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 = 3, which is also prime.

Case 4n - 7 = 1
That would be n = 2 and that makes other factor (n-2) zero so it's not prime

Case 4n-7 = -1
That would be n = 3/2 which is not integer, so </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will not be interger.

For any other n values, </span>4n<span>² - 15n + 14 will be composite number since it is product of two factors.

Therefore we are left with n = 1 and n = 3; only two values of n.</span>

Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the difference which means we will be using subtraction.

We are given two numbers to use 4\frac{1}{12} (Houston to Dallas) & 3\frac{1}{3} (San Antonio to Houston).

To be able to subtract, we need to have the same denominator on both fractions, which we can do by multiplying 1/3 by 4

\frac{1}{3} * 4=\frac{4}{12}

now we can subtract the numbers and simplify!

4\frac{1}{12} -3\frac{4}{12} =\frac{9}{12} =\frac{3}{4}

Please help i need help on question b
anzhelika [568]

There are 12 possible outcomes.....three of these will be a "7"  ...so...

A "7" should occur  1/4 of the time

If each player pays 20p to play.....the school  will take in  120 * 20  = 2400p

However.......1/4 of the players should win =  30 players.....and each lollipop costs 30p.....so......the school should spend 30 * 30  = 900p for the prizes

So......the school should raise   2400 - 900 = 1500p  if 120 people play the game
