<em>p</em> ² + 6 is even if <em>p</em> ² is even (the sum of two even numbers is even), and this happens only if <em>p</em> itself is even, i.e. if <em>p</em> = 2 since 2 is the only even prime.

All other primes <em>p</em> are odd, so <em>p</em> ² would be odd, and adding 6 would not change that (odd + even = odd).

Part A: The Sun produces 3.9 ⋅ 1033 ergs of radiant energy per second. How many ergs of radiant energy does the Sun produce in 3
Nuetrik [128]

5914 1404 393

Answer:

  A) 1.3×10^37 ergs

  B) 1.435×10^3 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The amount of energy will be the product of the energy rate and time:

  (3.9×10^33 ergs/s)×(3.25×10^3 s) =12.675×10^(33+3) ergs

  = 1.2675×10^(1+36) ergs

  = 1.2675×10^37 ergs ≈ 1.3×10^37 ergs

The mantissa of the result is the product 3.9×3.25, adjusted to have one digit left of the decimal point. The exponent of the result is the sum of the exponents of the factors, adjusted by 1 to match the adjustment in the mantissa.

The final value should be rounded to 2 significant figures, reflecting the precision of the sun's energy production.

B) A millimeter is a small fraction of an inch. 10^-3 mm is a small fraction of the width of a human hair, so 1.435×10^-3 mm is not a reasonable estimate of the distance between railroad tracks.

On the other hand, 1.435×10^3 mm is 1.435 m, almost 56.5 inches. This is a much more reasonable measurement of the distance between railroad rails.

  1.435×10^3 mm is more reasonable
