The product of two consecutive odd integers is 782. What are the integers?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex Ar [27]3 years ago
7 0

Call the smaller of the two odds = n

Call the next number in the sequence = n + 2

n*(n +2) = 782           Remove the brackets.

n^2 + 2n = 782          Subract 782 from both sides.

n^2 + 2n - 782 = 0    We are going to have to factor this.

Discussion

This problem can't be done the way it is written. The product of an odd integer with another odd integer is and odd integer. There are no exceptions to this. So you need to give a number that has two factors very near it's square root for this question to work.

For example, you could use 783, (which factors) instead of 782 .

Solve

n^2 + 2n - 783 = 0

(n + 29)(x - 27) = 0

<u>Solution One</u>

n - 27 = 0

n = 27

The two odd consecutive integers are 27 and 29.

<u>Solution Two</u>

n + 29 = 0

n = - 29

The two solution integers are -29 and - 27 Notice that - 29 is smaller than - 27.

Ava opens an account with $400. She deposits $200/month for 20 years. The interest rate is 2.15%. How much interest will she hav
artcher [175]

Answer:

  d.  None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the sequence of deposits is ...

  month 0: $400

  month 1: $200

  month 2: $200

...

  month 240: $200 . . . . accumulated interest is determined at this point

That is, no interest is earned on the last deposit.

_____

The value of the initial $400 deposit after 20 years at 2.15% interest compounded monthly is ...

  $400×(1 +.0215/12)^(12×20) = $400×1.536666 ≈ $614.67

The value of the $200 annuity at the same interest rate is ...

  $200((1 +.0215/12)^(12×20) -1)/(.0215/12) = $200×299.534612 ≈ $59,906.92

So, the total account value is ...

  $614.67 +59,906.92 = $60521.59

The total amount deposited was ...

  $400 +$200×240 = $48,400

The interest earned is the difference between the account value and the total of deposits:

  $60,521.59 -48,400 = $12,121.59 . . . . interest earned

This value does not match any numerical answer choice, so we conclude the appropriate answer is ...

   None of the above

What is the radical form of the expression 4 3/2
Rudiy27

Answer:

The radical form of the expression 4^{\frac{3}{2}} is, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using radical form rules:

  • a^{\frac{m}{n}} = \sqrt[n]{a^m}
  • \sqrt[n]{a^n} = a

Simplify the expression:  4^{\frac{3}{2}}

Using the radical form rules:

4^{\frac{3}{2}} = \sqrt{4^3} =\sqrt{64}

we can write 64 as 8 \times 8 = 8^2

=\sqrt{8\times 8} = \sqrt{8^2} =8

Therefore, the radical form of the expression 4^{\frac{3}{2}} is, 8

Suppose that weekly income of migrant workers doing agricultural labor in Florida has a distribution with a mean of $520 and a s
Arada [10]

Answer:

z = \frac{500-520}{\frac{90}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.22

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution and we got:

P(z

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the foolowing parameters given:

\mu = 520 represent the mean

\sigma =90 represent the standard deviation

n = 100 the sample size selected

And for this case since the sample size is large enough (n>30) we can apply the central limit theorem and the distribution for the sample mean would be given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu , \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

And we want to find this probability:

P(\bar X

We can use the z score formula given by:

z = \frac{500-520}{\frac{90}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.22

And we can find this probability using the normal standard distribution and we got:

P(z
