Hi
Let x and (x+2) represent the two consecutive odd integers
Question states***
x(x+2) = 7055
Solving for x
x^2 + 2x - 7055 = 0
factoring
(x+85)(x-83)=0 |Note:SUM of the inner product(85x) and the outer product(-83x) = 2x
(x+85)=0 x = -85 |the two consecutive odd integers being -85,-83
(x-83)=0 x = 83 |the two consecutive odd integers being 83,85
CHECKING our Answer(s)***
-85*-83 = 83*85 = 7055

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Hi
Mark is 8 years younger than Jerry
Let x and (x-8) represent Jerry and Mark's ages respectively
Question states*** In 10yrs...
(x-8) + 10 = 1/2(x+10)+10
Solving for x
(x-8) + 10 = 1/2*x + 5 +10
x/2 = 13
x = 26yr, Mark's age NOW. 'Jerry' is now 18yr. (26-8)
CHECKING our Answer***
28 = 1/2(36) + 10 = 18 + 10

Hi
Finding the solution set in a +bi form:
6x^2 + 4x +1 =0
a=6, b=4 and c=1 |Yes!
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x = -b ± sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/12 |Yes! Finish substituting for b, b^2 and 4ac
x = -4 ± sqrt(16-24)]/12
x = -4 ± sqrt(-8)]/12
x = -4 ± sqrt(-1*4*2)]/12 |sqrt(-1) = i
x = -4 ± 2isqrt(2)]/12
x = -1/3 ± (1/6)isqrt(2)
x = -1/3 + (1/6)isqrt(2) x = -1/3 - (1/6)isqrt(2)

Hi
D = r*t
Let x represent the submarines speed.
Question states*** 280mi apart after traveling opposite directions
11hr*x + 25mph*9hr = 280mi |note:submarine left Hawaii two hours before an aircraft carrier
Solving for x
11hrx = 55mi
x = 5mph, the submarine's speed

Hi
finding the roots using the quadratic formula
3y^2– 2y + 12 = 0
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+sqrt%28+-140+%29%29%2F%286%29+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+i%2Asqrt%28+4%2A35+%29%29%2F%286%29+
x+=+%28-3+%2B-+2i%2Asqrt%2835%29%29%2F%286%29+
x = -.5 + 2isqrt(35)/6
x = -.5 - 2isqrt(35)/6
Sum of the roots = -1
Product: .25 + 4*35/36
Note i^2 = -1

Hi
length of a 'rectangle' is 6 more than its witdth
Let x and (x+6) represent the width and length respectively
Question states***
x(x+6) = 72 cm^2 |Area of a rectangle is w*l
Solving for x
x^2 + 6x - 72 = 0
factoring
(x+12)(x-6) = 0
(x+12) = 0 x = -12 |tossing out negative solution for a measure
(x -6) = 0 x = 6cm, the width. The length is 12cm (6cm+6)
CHECKING our Answer***
6cm*12cm = 72 cm^2

Hi
*Note: z+=+blue%28x+-+mu%29%2Fblue%28sigma%29
On an exam with a mean of M=82, you obtain a score of X=86
a. Would you prefer a standard deviation of s=2 or s=10? s = 2
z = 4/2 = 2 OR z= 4/10 = .4
b. If your score were X=78, would you prefer s=2 or s=10? s = 10
z = -4/2 = -2 OR z = -4/10 = -.4
c. If one scores below the mean, one wants the SD to be larger.
If one scores above the mean , one would wish the SD to be smaller.
That is: it will reflect a better position as to placement on the curve.
