No because ab can be divided by a and b.
Answer:
3^13*73
Step-by-step explanation:
3^17-3^15+3^13 So you factor out 3^13
=3^13(3^4-3^2+1)
3^4-3^2+1=73
3^13*73
Is this RSM?
Answer:
a. Yes
b. VT
c. Segment RQ
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Find the slope of RS and UV
Slope = rise/run
Slope of RS = rise/run = RQ/QS
Slope of RS = 6/6
Slope of RS = 1
Slope of UV = rise/run = UT/TV
Slope of UV = 3/3
Slope of UV = 1
Thus, TS and UV have equivalent slopes
b. Slope of VT:
VT is an horizontal line.
It has no rise. But only run.
Therefore, it's rise = 0, while run = VT = 3
Slope of VT = rise/run = 0/3
Slope of VT = 0
c. Vertical lines have undefined slope.
Segment RQ is vertical line and therefore has an undefined slope.
RQ has rise but no run.
Thus:
Rise = 6
Run = 0
Slope of Segment RQ = 6/0 (this can't divide)
Therefore, slope of Segment RQ is undefined.
He should have added 1 to both sides to make the -1 on the right go to 0.
Then it would be 0 + m = -16 + 1 = -15
You can check your work by adding -1 and -15, which does in fact equal -16.
Hope this helped :)
