The sum of 2 composite numbers is never a prime number. Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite numbers are positive numbers that have factors, This means that they are divisible by numbers other than 1 and itself provided that number is a factor of the composite number. They possess at the bearest minimum level, a divisor other than  1 and itself. They are a natural number that is expressible as the product of two(or more) numbers other than 1 and itself.

For example:

4 is a composite number because its factors are 1, 2 and 4 which have another divisor apart from 1 and itself (4). That divisor is 2.

We all know that prime numbers are numbers that can be only be divided by 1 and itself.

Therefore, the sum of two composite number, for example:

4 + 6 = 10, We can now see that 10 is never a prime number.

Answers

The midpoint between two numbers is the number exactly in the middle of the two numbers. Calculating the midpoint is the same thing as calculating the average of two numbers. Therefore, you can calculate the midpoint between any two numbers by adding them together and dividing by two.

Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -4 and 4 and whose leading coeffiecient is 3. Use the letter X to represent the variavble.

Answers

Answer:

3x^2 - 48 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The roots of a quadratic equation whose roots are -4 and 4, means that valid solutions for the quadratic equation are -4 and 4.

The two forms we know for the quadratic equation are the factored binomials:

(ax + cy)(bx + dz) = 0

and the full equation

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

We will start with the factored form:

(x + 4) ( x - 4) = 0

Note that if we solve this, we get the roots:  x + 4 = 0  ==> -4 && x - 4 = 0 ==> 4

Now we apply foil to get the unfactored form:

(x + 4) (x - 4) = 0

x * x + x * -4 + 4 * x + 4 * -4 = 0

x^2 + -4x + 4x + -16 = 0

x^2 - 16 = 0

And now we want the leading coefficient to be 3.

3x^2 - 16  = 0

This looks like what we want; however, now with the leading 3, our solutions are no long +4 and -4.  So, we need to re-evaluate.

Going back to the binomials with the idea of a leading 3, let's rewrite them to still give us the solutions 4 and -4, but with the 3 included:

(3x + 12) (x - 4) = 0

Note, we simply multipled one binomial by 3 to maintain the roots of the original, but also incorporate the leading 3.

3x + 12 = 0              x - 4 = 0

3x = -12                        x = 4

x = -4

So now, we simply apply foil to this new equation of binomials to get our final quadratic equation:

(3x + 12) (x - 4) = 0

3x * x + 3x * -4 + 12 * x + 12 * -4 = 0

3x^2 + -12x + 12x + -48 = 0

3x^2 - 48 = 0

This is our quadratic equation we wish to use.

Note, we could have gotten this same equation by simply multiplying the original (x^2 - 16) = 0 by 3.

Cheers.

Thirty randomly selected students took the calculus final. If the sample mean was 95 and the standard deviation was 6.6, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean score of all students.a) 91.69 < μ < 98.31b) 92.95 < μ < 97.05c) 91.68 < μ < 98.32d) 92.03 < μ < 97.97

Answers

Answer: c) 91.68 < μ < 98.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let μ  be the mean score of all students.

Let [tex]\overline{x}[/tex] represents the sample mean score.

As per given , we have

Sample size : n= 30

Sample mean : [tex]\overline{x}=95[/tex]

Sample standard deviation: [tex]s=6.6[/tex]

Significance level [tex]\alpha=0.01[/tex]

Now, Confidence interval of mean when population standard deviation is unknown is given by :-

[tex]\overline{x}\pm t_{\alpha/2, df}\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

Degree of freedom = n-1 = 29

Critical two-tailed t-value : [tex]t_{0.01/2,29}=t_{0.005,29}=2.756[/tex] [By students' t distribution table]

Confidence interval of mean will be:

[tex]95\pm (2.756)\dfrac{6.6}{\sqrt{30}}\\\\=95\pm (2.756)\dfrac{6.6}{5.47722557}\\\\=95\pm (2.756)(1.205)\\\\=95\pm 3.32\\\\= (95-3.32, 95+3.32)\\\\=(91.68,\ 98.32)[/tex]

i.e. a 99% confidence interval for the mean score of all students : 91.68 < μ < 98.32

Find the value of x in each case:

Answers

Answer:

[tex] x = 18 [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Angle ABC = 2x

Angle CDE = 8x

Required:

Value of x

SOLUTION:

Line AB is parallel to line CD, therefore, angle ABC and angle BCD are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are equal. Thus:

Angle ABC = Angle BCD = 2x

Since, line BC is parallel to line DE, angle BCD and angle CDE are consecutive interior angles.

Consecutive interior angles are supplementary, therefore:

Angle BCD + Angle CDE = 180°

[tex] 2x + 8x = 180 [/tex]

Use this equation to solve for x

[tex] 10x = 180 [/tex]

Divide both sides by 10

[tex] \frac{10x}{10} = \frac{180}{10} [/tex]

[tex] x = 18 [/tex]

Pt. 1 The result of adding a complex number to its conjugate is a.- a whole number b.-an integer, c.- a real number, d.- a pure imaginary number Pt. 2 And the result of subtracting a complex number from its conjugate is a.- a whole number, b.-an integer, c.- a pure imaginary number, d.- a real number

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A complex number is a number that has both real and imaginary part. An example of a complex number is z = x+iy where x is the real part and y is the imaginary part.

If z = x+iy, the conjugate of z₁ will be x-iy

adding the complex number to its conjugate will give;

P = z+z₁

P = x+iy +(x-iy)

open the parenthesis

P = x+iy+x-iy

collect like terms

P = x+x+iy-iy

P = 2x

We can see that the resulting value does not contain the imaginary number i, hence the result is a real number.

Hence the result of adding a complex number to its conjugate is a REAL NUMBER

Taking the difference;

P =  = z-z₁

P = x+iy -(x-iy)

open the parenthesis

P = x+iy-x+iy

collect like terms

P = x-x+iy+iy

P = 0+2iy

P = 2iy

We can see that the resulting value contains the imaginary number i, hence the of taking their difference is a complex number.

Hence the result of subtracting a complex number from its conjugate is an IMAGINARY NUMBER

OB. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval.
C. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values.
D. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.

Answers

Answer: D. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Discrete data refers to data that has a specific value in a specific period and so can be counted as opposed to continuous data that cannot be counted as it goes on to infinity. An example of continuous data would be the height of students in a class. This is continuous because a person's height could be 1.02325845...... metres.

The number of car accidents on a particular stretch of highway can be counted and the data can only take on a specific value thereby making it discrete data.

In this exercise we have to use the knowledge of distance to understand which the best alternative corresponds to car accidents, in this way we find that:

Letter D. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.

Discrete information in visible form refers to data that bear a distinguishing value fashionable a distinguishing period accordingly can be check in order as opposite to continuous information in visible form that cannot be deem as it continue to infinity.

An instance of constant data hopeful the height of person actively learning fashionable a class. This is constant cause a person's crest could be 1.02325845 metres.

Answer:

89

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

2 O, 2 T and 1 M

Now based on this, the following ways are there  

1

Three ways i.e. {M,T,O}

2

XX or XY

XX in 2C1 = two ways i.e. {OO or TT}

XY in 3C2 × 2! = six ways

3

XXY or XYZ

XXY in 2C1 × 2C1 × 3! ÷ 2! = twelve ways

XYZ in 3C3 × 3! = six ways

4

XXYY or XXYZ

XXYY = 4! ÷ (2! × 2!) = six ways

XXYZ in 2C1 ×  4! ÷ 2! = twenty four ways

5

= 5! ÷ (2! ×2!)

= 120 ÷ 4

= 30

Therefore, the total is

= 3 + (2 +6)+ (12 +6) + (6 +24) + 30

= 89

There are 30 different letter permutations.

This gives

[tex]d = \frac{5!}{2!2!}[/tex]

Evaluate each factorial

[tex]d = \frac{120}{2 \times 2}[/tex]

Evaluate the product of 2 and 2
