How far from n do you need to go to have found at least one prime? |
2007-09-16 |
|
Mike pose la question :
Hi,
I was wondering if there was some kind of guaranteed interval that ensures that if you start at some number n, you will always have passed a prime number p.
I remember having once read something that there is always at least one prime between n and 2n, but I cannot for the life of me remember where I read that, or what that kind of rule would be called so I can look it up online...
thank you for your help,
Mike

Bruce pose la question :
The equation is x^2-12.
I need to find the x-y intercepts and horizontal intervals (increasing & decreasing)
I would have thought the y intercept would be (0,-12) however the book came up with something different.

Jordan pose la question :
In Chemistry we are doing a lot of problems that are much more math related than anything. One of my questions reads: A certain medallion has a mass of 55.64 g. When placed in 75.2 mL of water in a graduated cylinder,
the water level rises and then reads 77.8 mL.
Is the medallion made of platinum (D=21.4 g/mL) or silver (D= 10.5 g/mL)?
