Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We have 15! as the product of 1 to 15 natural numbers.  Since 17 is prime there will be no factor common to these

By actual division we find

15! (mod 17) =16

From this we deduce

even 16! mod 17 = 16 = -1

According to Wilson theorem

(17-1)! = -1 mod 17

Thus verified 17 is prime

Hence 15! (mod 17) =-1=16

-----------------------

b) 2(26!) is divided by 29

Since 29 is prime

(29-1)! = -1 mod 29

28! = -1 mod 29 = 28

When divided this gives 25 as remainder

Can someone help me with this question?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

One of the angles in the triangle might be 50.

AND

The length of the third side must be 11cm or smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

-The triangle might be an equilateral triangle (having all the same sides and angles). False, since the triangle sum theorem states that all angles inside of a triangle must add up to 180, so an equilateral triangle would need to have all three angles at 60 degrees.

-One of the angles in the triangle must be 120 (false; it can be anything above 90, which is not only 120)

-The length of the third side must be 11cm or smaller. (True, Triangle Inequality Theorem)

-One of the angles in the triangle might be 50 (possibly, so very much true)

What is the equation of the line in standard form?<br> 3x−y=−6 3x + y = 6 x + 6y = 9 x−6y=−9
lisabon 2012 [21]

The standard form: Ax + By = C

3x - y = -6  YES - A = 3, B = -1, C = -6

3x + y = 6   YES - A = 3, B = 1, C = 6

x + 6y = 9   YES - A = 1, B = 6, C = 9

x - 6y = -9   YES - A = 1, B = -6, C = -9

Angle A and angle B are complementary
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

∠A + ∠B  = 90°  {given they are complementary}

5x+ 15 + 30 = 90

5x + 45 = 90

5x = 90 - 45

5x = 45

x = 45/5

x = 9
