2 consecutive odd integers.....x and x + 2.....the product means multiply....the sum means add.
x(x + 2) = 4(x + x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 4(2x + 2) - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 8 - 1
x^2 + 2x = 8x + 7
x^2 + 2x - 8x - 7 = 0
x^2 - 6x - 7 = 0
(x - 7)(x + 1) = 0
x - 7 = 0 x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
x = 7
x + 1 = 0 x + 2 = -1 + 2 = 1
x = -1
there can be 2 answers for this....
(1) 7 and 9
(2) -1 and 1

Answer:
d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the distance d, in centimeters, that a diving board bends below its resting position when you stand at its end is dependent on your distance x, in meters, from the stabilized point

For finding out the distances for x=1 and x=2
let us substitute 1 and 2 for x


d(1) = -3 and d(2)= -28
