First, find the mean. You'll need it to compute the variance.
The variance of the sample is then computed with the formula
The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so
n, n+1 - two consecutive integers
n(n + 1) = 50 <em>use distributive property</em>
n² + n = 50 <em>subtract 50 from both sides</em>
n² + n - 50 = 0
-----------------------------------------------------
ax² + bx + c =0
if b² - 4ac > 0 then we have two solutions:
[-b - √(b² - 4ac)]/2a and [-b - √(b² + 4ac)]/2a
if b² - 4ac = 0 then we have one solution -b/2a
if b² - 4ac < 0 then no real solution
----------------------------------------------------------
n² + n - 50 = 0
a = 1, b = 1, c = -50
b² - 4ac = 1² - 4(1)(-50) = 1 + 200 = 201 > 0 → two solutions
√(b² - 4ac) = √(201) - it's the irrational number
Answer: There are no two consecutive integers whose product is 50.
A≈92.7
