Determine all prime numbers a, b and c for which the expression a ^ 2 + b ^ 2 + c ^ 2 - 1 is a perfect square .

kogti [31]

Answer:

The family of all prime numbers such that $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} -1$ is a perfect square is represented by the following solution:

$a$ is an arbitrary prime number. (1)

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot a \cdot c}$ (2)

$c$ is another arbitrary prime number. (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

From Algebra we know that a second order polynomial is a perfect square if and only if $(x+y)^{2} = x^{2} + 2\cdot x\cdot y + y^{2}$ . From statement, we must fulfill the following identity:

$a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - 1 = x^{2} + 2\cdot x\cdot y + y^{2}$

By Associative and Commutative properties, we can reorganize the expression as follows:

$a^{2} + (b^{2}-1) + c^{2} = x^{2} + 2\cdot x \cdot y + y^{2}$ (1)

Then, we have the following system of equations:

$x = a$ (2)

$(b^{2}-1) = 2\cdot x\cdot y$ (3)

$y = c$ (4)

By (2) and (4) in (3), we have the following expression:

$(b^{2} - 1) = 2\cdot a \cdot c$

$b^{2} = 1 + 2\cdot a \cdot c$

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot a\cdot c}$

From Number Theory, we remember that a number is prime if and only if is divisible both by 1 and by itself. Then, $a, b, c > 1$ . If $a$ , $b$ and $c$ are prime numbers, then $2\cdot a\cdot c$ must be an even composite number, which means that $a$ and $c$ can be either both odd numbers or a even number and a odd number. In the family of prime numbers, the only even number is 2.

In addition, $b$ must be a natural number, which means that:

$1 + 2\cdot a\cdot c \ge 4$

$2\cdot a \cdot c \ge 3$

$a\cdot c \ge \frac{3}{2}$

But the lowest possible product made by two prime numbers is $2^{2} = 4$ . Hence, $a\cdot c \ge 4$ .

The family of all prime numbers such that $a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} -1$ is a perfect square is represented by the following solution:

$a$ is an arbitrary prime number. (1)

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot a \cdot c}$ (2)

$c$ is another arbitrary prime number. (3)

Example: $a = 2$ , $c = 2$

$b = \sqrt{1 + 2\cdot (2)\cdot (2)}$

$b = 3$

anthony bought an 8 foot board.He cut off 3/4 of the board to build a shelf,and gave 1/3 of the rest to his brother for an art p

e-lub [12.9K]

Convert your feet to inches.
So 8 times by 12 = 96 inches
if you have 3/4 of the board used.
3/4= .75
if you were to times 96 by .75 = 72 inches.
So you used 72 inches and you have 24 inches left

now do 1/3= .33
times .33 by 24= 8
8 inches is how long you would give to Anthony's brother.

The area of a compact disc is 78.53 square centimeters. What is the radius of the disc? Use pi = 3.14

Tom [10]

Answer:

r = 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A = πr²

78.53 = (3.14)r²

divide by 3.14

25 = r²

r = ±5

r = 5

X^2 - 2x = 15 how do I solve this quadratic method?<br>I am stuck on it.... please help<br>

Anarel [89]

Answer:

(x - 5)(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve x² - 2x = 15, we need to get all the terms on one side so we can solve the quadratic equation using factoring. to do this, we subtract 15 from both sides

x² - 2x = 15

- 15 -15

x² - 2x - 15 = 0

now we can factor. we need 2 numbers that when multiplied together give us -15, and when those 2 numbers are added together we get -2

because we have a -15, we can assume that one number must be negative and the other positive, as a negative times a postive is a negative.

we can use 3 and -5 as factors and test it out. we put x in front because we have an x²

(x - 5)(x + 3) < we can FOIL to check to see if this is correct. its not mandatory to check but when you arent sure of the answer you can FOIL it out

FOIL stands for: First, Outside, Inside, and Last terms

F: (x - 5)(x + 3) = x²

O: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -3x

I: (x - 5)(x + 3) = 5x

L: (x - 5)(x + 3) = -15

x² + 3x - 5x - 15 < subtract 3x from 5x

x² - 2x - 15

this checks out, so our answer is (x - 5)(x + 3)
