Part (a)

Consecutive odd integers are integers that odd and they follow one right after another. If x is odd, then x+2 is the next odd integer

For example, if x = 7, then x+2 = 9 is right after.

<h3>Answer:  x+2</h3>

========================================================

Part (b)

The consecutive odd integers we're dealing with are x and x+2.

Their squares are x^2 and (x+2)^2, and these squares add to 394.

<h3>Answer: x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 394</h3>

========================================================

Part (c)

We'll solve the equation we just set up.

x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 394

x^2 + x^2 + 4x + 4 = 394

2x^2+4x+4-394 = 0

2x^2+4x-390 = 0

2(x^2 + 2x - 195) = 0

x^2 + 2x - 195 = 0

You could factor this, but the quadratic formula avoids trial and error.

Use a = 1, b = 2, c = -195 in the quadratic formula.

x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(2)\pm\sqrt{(2)^2-4(1)(-195)}}{2(1)}\\\\x = \frac{-2\pm\sqrt{784}}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-2\pm28}{2}\\\\x = \frac{-2+28}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-2-28}{2}\\\\x = \frac{26}{2} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-30}{2}\\\\x = 13 \ \text{ or } \ x = -15\\\\

If x = 13, then x+2 = 13+2 = 15

Then note how x^2 + (x+2)^2 = 13^2 + 15^2 = 169 + 225 = 394

Or we could have x = -15 which leads to x+2 = -15+2 = -13

So, x^2 + (x+2)^2 = (-15)^2 + (-13)^2 = 225 + 169 = 394

We get the same thing either way.

<h3>Answer: Either 13, 15  or  -15, -13</h3>

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

S varies partly directly as M and Q.

S=C.

S=KMQ+C.

For the first one...

speed=80,m=220,Q=30.

80=K20×30+C.

80=600K+C......(I).equation one.

For the second one....

speed=60,m=300,Q=40.

60=K300×40+C.

60=12000K+C.....(ii). equation two.

Minus eqtn(I) from eqtn(ii).

80=600K+C.

- 60=12000K+C.

K=0.01754~0.018.

Substitute K=0.018 into eqtn(I).

80=600K+C

80=600×0.018+C.

80=10.8+C.

C=80-10.8=69.2.

The relation is S=0.018MQ+69.2

when speed is 100 and mass is 250 find the volume.

100=0.018×250×Q+69.2.

100=4.5Q+69.2.

4.5Q=100-69.2

4.5Q=30.8.

Q=30.8/4.5.

Q=6.8~7litres.

What is the probability of flipping two coins at the same time and getting heads on both coins?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
According to me the probability is 1/4, because there are 4 possible outcomes when two coins are flipped - TT, TH, HT, HH. 

<span>Also, would it matter if the coins are flipped one after other rather than together</span>
