Question 790617: The sum of the squares of two consecutive integers is 685. Find the integers.

I tried solving this myself and got 324 and 325 which is not the right answer, I'm not very good with word problems. Thank you in advance!

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

we are given the following

x^2 +(x+1)^2 = 685

x^2 +x^2+2x+1 = 685

2x^2 +2x = 684

x^2 +x = 342 and

x^2 +x -342 = 0

use quadratic equation to solve for x

x = (-1 + or - square root(1 - 4*1*(-342)) / 2

x = (-1 + or - 37) / 2

the problem does not state if our consecutive integers are positive or negative

x = 18 or -19

18^2 + 19^2 = 685

324 + 361 = 685

685 = 685

now

-19^2 + -18^2 = 685

361 + 325 = 685

so our integers are 18, 19, -19, -18

M is the midpoint of line segment AB
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The coordinates of A would be (-1, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, use the mid-point formula.

(xA + xB)/2 = xM

In this, the xA is the x value of point A, xB is the x value of point B, and xM is the x value of M. Now we plug in the known information and solve for xA.

(xA + 5)/2 = 2

xA + 5 = 4

xA = -1

Now we can do the same using the midpoint formula and the y values.

(yA + yB)/2 = yM

(yA + 10)/2 = 6

yA + 10 = 12

yA = 2

This gives us the midpoint of (-1, 2)
