You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the product of two consecutive odd numbers is 399. what are these numbers?
-----------
If you factor 399, you find it has a factor of 19.
399 = 19*21
--------------
If you do it the "hard way"
x*(x+2) = 399
x%5E2+%2B+2x+-+399+=+0
Now you have to factor 399 anyway.
--> 19 & 21
---------------
Another way:
sqrt%28399%29 is almost 20, the middle of the 2 numbers.
--> 19 & 21

You pull a card out of a standard 52-card deck and you pull one card out of another standard deck. What is the probability of pulling a 3 at least once?
------
Each deck has 4 threes.
getting one 3 is 1/13 + 1/13
getting two is 1/13 * 1/13 = 1/169

Then 2/13 - 1/169 = 25/169. It's subtracted because getting one 3 is included in getting two 3's.
----------
25/169

25 is the average of 10 and 40, so it's equal amounts.

Not sure what that means.

If you draw 2 intersecting lines on paper, a 3rd line can be perpendicular to both if the 1st 2 lines are perpenicular, or if they're not.
3 might be true, but is not a requirement.
Use a paper on a desk and do it. a pencil held perpendicular to both lines is perpendicular, actually the term is normal, to the paper. This is true regardless of the angle between the lines on the paper.

63/3 = 21 --> 20, 21 & 22
63/4 = none
63/5 = none
63/6 = 10.5 --> 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13
63/7 = 9 --> 6 to 12
63/9 = 7 --> 3 to 11
---------
63/21 & 63/63 also work, but have negative integers.

Miscellaneous_Word_Problems/556643: Please help me! I think that the answer is 5 seconds, but I don't know. Please show work :) "An object is thrown upward from the top of a 160-foot building with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second. The height h of the object after t seconds is given by the quadratic equation h =16tē + 48t + 160. When will the object hit the ground?"

--------------
At 5 seconds, h = 16*25 + 48*5 + 160
h(5) = 800 feet
-------
h = 0 when it hits the ground.
h =16tē + 48t + 160 = 0
solve for t
---------------
h increases with t, the object will never hit the ground.

------------------
h(x)=-16t^2+128t. Find the maximum height of the arrow.
Maybe you mean h(t)
h(t)=-16t^2+128t
---
The max is the vertex of the parabola. It's on the line of symmetry.
LOS is t = -b/2a
t = -128/-32 = 4 seconds
----
f(4) = -16*16 + 128*4
f(4) = 512 - 256 = 256 feet

What's the slope and the y intercept of this problem 2x+9=-18
---------
2x+9=-18
x = -27/2
change in x = 0 --> slope is undefined
That's the slope of the graph of the equation, not the slope of the problem.
