Question 659438: this formula x^2-x+41=
Select 0,1,2,3,4 use these numbers for x substituting them in the formula and see if prime numbers occur. Try to find the number for x that when substituted in the formula yields a composite number. Answer by tommyt3rd(5050) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! this is a well known prime generating polynomial that produces primes for every integer less than 41. then at x=41 we get P(41)=41^2 (not a prime)
