Answer:

257 is prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate if a number is prime, we just need to evaluate it for the prime numbers that are equal or lesser than the said number's square root.

In this case, √257 = 16.03 so we just need to see if 257 is divisible by 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13 (the prime numbers that come before 16)

257 is odd, so it is not divisible by 2.

The sum of its digits is 14, therefore, it is not divisible by 3.

257 ends in 7, therefore it's not divisible by 5.

257/ 7 = 36.71 so it's not divisible by 7.

257/ 11 = 23.36 so it's not divisible by 11

Finally 257 / 13= 19.76 so it's not divisible by 13.

Therefore, 257 is prime.

posledela

Answer:

-10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

f{5} = 6(5^2) + 2(5) - 7

g{-3}= 4(-3)-3

= 6(25) + 10 - 7

-12 - 3

= 150 + 10 - 7

- 15

= 153

-15

= -51

= -10.2

What is (1.7x10^4)x(8.5x10^-2) in standard form

Temka [501]

Answer:

1.445 × 10³

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is a way of writing a small number or a large number easily.

We should give the final answer in standard form.

1) (1.7 × 10⁴) × (8.5 × 10⁻²)

We enter this directly into the calculator to obtain a solution.

= 1445

We write this in standard form we have :

1.445 × 10³

Which of the following are solutions to 2x^2-8x-90? select all that apply.

Lyrx [107]

Simplifying:
2x2 + -8x + -90 = 0

Reorder the terms:
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0

Solving
-90 + -8x + 2x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(-45 + -4x + x2) = 0

Factor a trinomial.
2((-5 + -1x)(9 + -1x)) = 0

Ignore the factor 2.
Subproblem 1:

Set the factor '(-5 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-5 + -1x = 0

Solving
-5 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms:
-5 + 5 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + 5 -1x = 0 + 5

Combine like terms:
0 + 5 = 5 -1x = 5

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = -5

Simplifying
x = -5

Subproblem 2:

Set the factor '(9 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
9 + -1x = 0

Solving
9 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9' to each side of the equation.
9 + -9 + -1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms:
9 + -9 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -9 -1x = 0 + -9

Combine like terms:
0 + -9 = -9 -1x = -9

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 9

Simplifying x = 9

Solution
x = {-5, 9}
