If you multiply two prime numbers, will the result be prime or composite?

1 answer:

Answer:

It can never be a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the product of the two prime numbers are divisible by those two numbers, therefore going against the definition of a prime number. For example 3 and 5 are prime numbers and their product is 15. 15 can be divided by 3 and 5 so it is not a prime number.

Hope this helps.

FInd the value of C.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The side C equals to 10. hence the answer is letter A

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we need to use trigonometric functions.

we know that sin (α) = Lo / H for a triangle. Being Lo : Length of the opposite side and H: Length of the hypotenuse.

Given α= 45º and Lo= 5√2 and replacing in the equation:

sin (45º) = 5√2 / C (1)

Using trigonometric identities we know that sin(45º) =(√2)/2. Replacing in equation (1):

sin (45º) = (√2)/2 = 5√2 / C ⇒ C = 2 *5 *√2 / (√2) ⇒ C=10

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x):

Elza [17]

Answer:

(a) The slope of f(x) is greater than the slope of g(x)

(b) f(x) has a greater y intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{cc}x & {f(x)} & -1&-9&0&-1&1&7 \ \end{array}$

$g(x) = 3x - 2$

Solving (a): Compare the slopes

The slope (m) of f(x) is calculated as;

$m = \frac{f(x_2) - f(x_1)}{x_2 - x_1}$

This gives:

$m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{0 - 1}$

$m = \frac{f(0) - f(1)}{- 1}$

Substitute values for f(0) and f(1)

$m = \frac{-1 - 7}{- 1}$

$m = \frac{-8}{- 1}$

$m = 8$

The slope of g(x) can be gotten using the following comparison

$g(x) = mx + b$

$m \to slope$

So:

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$m = 3$

$m_{f(x)} > m_{g(x)}$

Solving (b): Compare the y intercept

y intercept is when $x = 0$

From the table of f(x)

$f(0) = -1$

From the equation of g(x)

$g(x) = 3x -2$

$g(0) = 3*0-2$

$g(0) =-2$

<em></em> $f(0) > g(0)$ <em></em>
