  1. Feynstein 100 The formula only works for polynomial functions. The sequence of primes cannot be described by a polynomial function so it does not work because it is outside the scope

  2. Feynstein 100 The sum of the sequence of primes are divergent so primes are not transcendental. I am not sure of the sum of the reciprocal of primes but if they are convergent they are most likely transcendental.

  3. I just checked the sum of the reciprocal of primes diverges so also not transcendental.
