Why is 1 neither prime nor a composite number?

Mathematics

Nadya [2.5K]2 years ago

Answer:

1 is neither prime nor a composite number because it only has 1 divisor, 1 and 1, and it doesn't have more than 2 integral divisors, like stated, it only has 1. So it falls in neither category.

Answer:

because

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number has exactly two integral divisors: 1 and itself. Because it contains only one divisor, the number 1 is not a prime. A whole number with more than two integral divisors is called a composite number. So, with the exception of 0 and 1, all whole integers are either prime or composite.

Find inverse of f(x)=x^3-9<br>Not sure of my answer!​
Katyanochek1 [597]

as you may already know, to get the inverse of any expression, we start off by doing a quick switcheroo on the variables, and then solve for "y".

\bf \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=x^3-9\implies \stackrel{\textit{quick switcheroo}}{\underline{x}=\underline{y}^3-9}\implies x+9=y^3\implies \sqrt[3]{x+9}=\stackrel{f^{-1}(x)}{y}

If there is a 10% chance of sun tomorrow and a 20% chance of wind and no sun, what is the probability that it is windy, given th
professor190 [17]
Since there are two events happening simultaneously (windy and no sun), we can apply the concept of conditional probability here. P(A|B) = P(A∩B)/P(B) where it means that given B is happening, the probability that A is happening as well is the ratio of the chance for A and B to happen simultaneously over the chance of B to happen. For our case, this can be interpreted as P(A|B): it is the probability that it is windy (A) GIVEN that there is no sun (B) P(A∩B) : chance of wind and no sun P(B) : chance that there is no sun tomorrow The chance of P(A∩B) is already given as 20% or 0.20. Since there is 10% or 0.10 chance of sun, then chances of having no sun tomorrow is (1-0.10) = 0.90. Thus, we have P(A|B) = 0.2/0.9 ≈ 0.22 or 22%. So, answer is B: 22%<span>.</span>

The width of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than half the length. The perimeter is 56 inches. What is the length and the width
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Length of the rectangle = 16 inches

Width of the rectangle = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by x.

Then width can be expressed as \[\frac{x}{2}+4\]&#10;

Perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of four sides of the rectangle.

This can be expressed as 2*(length + breadth)

= \[2* (x + \frac{x}{2}+4)\]

= \[2* (\frac{3x}{2}+4)\]

= \[3x + 8\]

But perimeter is given as 56.

So, \[3x + 8 = 56\]&#10;

=> \[3x = 48\]

=> \[x = 16\]

Hence length of the rectangle = 16 inches

Width of the rectangle = \[\frac{16}{2}+4\] = 12 inches

galben [10]

Answer:

division equation  

x/6 = 12

The size he should buy = 72 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Ortega bought a ham. He wants to divide it into 6 ounce serving for 12 people . The division equation to find what size of ham Mr Ortega should buy is represented below.

Mr Ortega wants to share for each person 6 ounce serving for 12 people.

Let the amount of ounce he will buy = x ounces

Therefore, the division equation to find what size of hams Mr Ortega should buy will be

x/6 = 12

To find x we cross multiply

x = 12 × 6

x = 72 ounces
