Algebra question - not homework!
)
May 7th, 2012
The problem has always bothered me (I took this class 24 years ago and still remember it). I was able to answer it correctly using my head, but I couldn’t “show” my work, so only got partial points.
“The sum of the squares of the first and third of three consecutive odd integers is 106. Find the integers.” (I know they are 5 and 9)
Since the problem started with “sum of squares” that was the formula I tried to use, but I couldn’t make it work out. Can you help me put this to rest?
