Ineed with numbers 1 and 2

1.No, 143 is not a prime number. The list of all positive divisors the list of all integers that divide 143 is as follows: 1, 11, 13, 143. To be 143 a prime number, it would have been required that 143 has only two divisors, itself and 1.

2.Since the polynomial can be factored, it is not prime.

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
