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

1. Graph the function y= 2/x. Draw a chart to show at least four ordered pairs that are on the graph.
blsea [12.9K]
Y = 2/x

x must not have the value of 0 because x is used as a denominator. 
A denominator must not have a value of 0 because the overall value of the fraction is undefined.

x may be any positive or negative integer.

x = 1
y = 2/1 = 2 ⇒ (1,2)

x = 2
y = 2/2 = 1 ⇒ (2,1)

x = 3
y = 2/3 = 0.67 ⇒ (3, 2/3)

x = -1 
y = 2/-1 = -2 ⇒ (-1,-2)

x = -2
y = 2/-2 = -1 ⇒ (-2, -1)

x = -3 
y = 2/-3 or -0.67 ⇒ (-3, -2/3)

Please show how to check the answer . that's all I'm struggling with​
Sloan [31]

Answer:

For Question 3, all you have to do is subtract 5 from both sides of the equation, then divide by -3, which will leave you with 5 as the answer.

-3x + 5 = -10

-3x = -15x

x = 5
