Answer:
6 and 8
Step-by-step explanation:
6+8=14 difference 2
Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation: x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0
Here, a = 1, b = 3 and c = -4.
The formula for the discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).
Substituting the given values of a, b and c, we get:
(3)^2 - 4(1)(-4)
Evaluating this, we get 9 + 16 = 25.
The discriminant is 25.
-3 plus or minus √25
Taking this further, x = ------------------------------------
2
-3 plus or minus 5
or: x = -------------------------------- => {-4, 1} (solutions)
2
The two consecutive numbers are 8 and 9.
