Answer:
i would say C
Step-by-step explanation:
Call the smaller of the two odds = n
Call the next number in the sequence = n + 2
n*(n +2) = 782 Remove the brackets.
n^2 + 2n = 782 Subract 782 from both sides.
n^2 + 2n - 782 = 0 We are going to have to factor this.
Discussion
This problem can't be done the way it is written. The product of an odd integer with another odd integer is and odd integer. There are no exceptions to this. So you need to give a number that has two factors very near it's square root for this question to work.
For example, you could use 783, (which factors) instead of 782 .
Solve
n^2 + 2n - 783 = 0
(n + 29)(x - 27) = 0
<u>Solution One</u>
n - 27 = 0
n = 27
The two odd consecutive integers are 27 and 29.
<u>Solution Two</u>
n + 29 = 0
n = - 29
The two solution integers are -29 and - 27 Notice that - 29 is smaller than - 27.
Answer:
x = 8 ± 2i
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 16x + 60 = - 12 ( subtract 60 from both sides )
x² - 16x = - 72
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 8)x + 64 = - 72 + 64, thus
(x - 8)² = - 8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x - 8 = ± 
= ± 2i ( add 8 to both sides )
x = 8 ± 2i
Answer:
30 pushups
Step-by-step explanation:
25/100 = x/120
so, 120x25 = 100x
3000 = 100x
3000/100= x
x = 30
so, Lauren has completed 30 push-ups.
To find the Chebyshev's inequality, P | Xn - E(X)| <= δ/4 >= 1 - (δ^2/25)/(δ^2/16) = 1 - (16/25) = 9/25 = 0.36
The answer in this question which is the probability that the average of the physicist's measurement is within δ/4 units of the actual specific gravity is at least 0.36%
