Answer:

3 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two consecutive odd integers be x and x + 2.

Now,

The given statement is

x^2 + 3 \times (x+2)=24\\x^2 + 3x+6-24 = 0 \\x^2 + 3x-18 = 0\\x^2+6x-3x-18=0\\x(x+6)-3(x+6)=0\\(x-3)(x+6)=0\\x=3,-6

Taking x=3.

Hence, two consecutive odd integers are 3 and 5.

Fun, geometry disguised as probability.

That's a pentagon, which we can view as 10 right triangles with legs a and s/2 (half of s) and hypotenuse r.  So area of the pentagon is

P = 10 × (1/2) a (s/2) = 10 (1/2) (3.2) (4.7/2) = 37.6

The area of the circle is πr² so the circle area is

C = π (4²) = 50.265482

The white area is the difference, C-P, and the probability we seek is the fraction of the circle that's white, so (C-P)/C.

p = (C-P)/C =1-P/C = 1-37.6/50.265482 = 0.251971

Answer: 0.25

Higher than I would have guessed from the figure.

Answer:

5\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the length of a vector/line in your case.

L = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2 + (y_2-y_1)^2} = \sqrt{[4 - (-1)]^2 + [2 -(-3)]^2} = \sqrt{5^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}

Answer: 2(x2 + 10x + 16)

Step-by-step explanation: You need to factor the whole equation by 2. In other words divide each term by 2 and put parentheses to indicate factoring. You should get 2(x2 + 10x + 16)
