Find two consecutive positive integers such that the sum of their squares is 421 .

Mathematics

We assume the two numbers are x and (x+1)
so x^2+(x+1)^2=421
x^2+(x^2+2x+1)=421
2x^2+2x-420=0
According to the formula of quadratic 
x=14 or-15
cuz we know the two numbers are integers
so x=14
therefore the other number is 15
To make sure that's correct
14^2+15^2=421

Hope that helps you!!

Two groups of students were asked how far they lived from their school. The table below shows the distances in miles:
pychu [463]

Answer:

C. The value for Group A is double the value for Group B

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you add all the numbers from each group.

A: The distance in total is 39.06

B: The distance in total is 19.53

To find the mean, which is another way of saying the average, you divide the sum with how many numbers there are. (hope this makes sense, I suck at wording)

A: There are 9 numbers in total, hence, 39.06/9 = 4.34

B: There are 9 numbers in total, hence, 19.53/9 = 2.17

Those are the mean distance for the two groups.

2.17 * 2 = 4.34

Hence, C (third statement)
