The sum of 2 composite numbers is never a prime number. Explain your answer.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite numbers are positive numbers that have factors, This means that they are divisible by numbers other than 1 and itself provided that number is a factor of the composite number. They possess at the bearest minimum level, a divisor other than  1 and itself. They are a natural number that is expressible as the product of two(or more) numbers other than 1 and itself.

For example:

4 is a composite number because its factors are 1, 2 and 4 which have another divisor apart from 1 and itself (4). That divisor is 2.

We all know that prime numbers are numbers that can be only be divided by 1 and itself.

Therefore, the sum of two composite number, for example:

4 + 6 = 10, We can now see that 10 is never a prime number.

Which inequality statement describes the two numbers: -13 and a number 28 units to the right of -13?
kkurt [141]
So you have -13, then a number that's somewhere to the right of -13. imagine a number line: the negative values are on the left side of the zero, the positive values are on the right. if you're moving to the RIGHT of -13, that means that the value will be greater than -13, or in other words, -13 will be less than the new value because you moved right.

to find the number 28 units to the right of -13, you simply need to add these two numbers: -13 + 28. you add them because you're moving 28 units in the POSITIVE direction, aka you're going UP, so you want to add. -13 + 28 = 15.

now read the statements your question gave you. C and D are just straight-up false--a positive number is never less than a negative number. those are out immediately. now, the numbers you're working with are -13 and 15, so you can immediately ignore B as an answer choice, but still: A is correct because it shows the correct inequality. -13 is less than the number 28 units to the right of it, that number being positive 15.

An angle measures 28° more than the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

62°

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary angles by definition are two or more angles that add up to 90°. So we must do 90°-62° to get the missing angle which is 62°.

Hope that helped.

Find the coordinates of point P that lies along the directed line segment AB in a 2:3 ratio given A (-2, 1), B (3, 4).
saul85 [17]

Answer:

P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = (-2,1)

B = (3,4)

m:n = 2:3

Required

Determine the coordinates of P

The coordinate of a point when divided into ratio is:

P(x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (-2,1)

(x_2,y_2) = (3,4)

m:n = 2:3

This gives:

P(x,y) = (\frac{2 * 3 + 3 * -2}{2 + 3},\frac{2 * 4 + 3 * 1}{2 + 3})

P(x,y) = (\frac{6 - 6}{5},\frac{8 + 3}{5})

P(x,y) = (\frac{0}{5},\frac{11}{5})

P(x,y) = (0,\frac{11}{5})
