The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate the statement \( P(n) : 10n + 3 \) for the values of \( n \) given in the options and determine which one is not a prime number. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Evaluate \( P(1) \)**: \[ P(1) = 10 \times 1 + 3 = 10 + 3 = 13 \] - **Check if 13 is prime**: The factors of 13 are 1 and 13. Therefore, 13 is a prime number. 2. **Evaluate \( P(2) \)**: \[ P(2) = 10 \times 2 + 3 = 20 + 3 = 23 \] - **Check if 23 is prime**: The factors of 23 are 1 and 23. Therefore, 23 is a prime number. 3. **Evaluate \( P(3) \)**: \[ P(3) = 10 \times 3 + 3 = 30 + 3 = 33 \] - **Check if 33 is prime**: The factors of 33 are 1, 3, 11, and 33. Therefore, 33 is not a prime number (it is composite). 4. **Evaluate \( P(4) \)**: \[ P(4) = 10 \times 4 + 3 = 40 + 3 = 43 \] - **Check if 43 is prime**: The factors of 43 are 1 and 43. Therefore, 43 is a prime number. ### Conclusion: From the evaluations: - \( P(1) = 13 \) (prime) - \( P(2) = 23 \) (prime) - \( P(3) = 33 \) (not prime, composite) - \( P(4) = 43 \) (prime) The option that is not true (i.e., not prime) is **option C: \( P(3) \)**. ### Final Answer: **Option C: \( P(3) \)** is not true. ---
