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!

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

Answer:

y=x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have drawn the graph of y = x^2 - 3x + 1.

To determine the equation of the line which  should be drawn to solve the equation:  x² - 4x +3=0

Simply carry out the subtraction: x^2 - 3x + 1 -(x^2 - 4x +3)

\implies x^2 -3x + 1-x^2 + 4x -3 \\= x^2 - x^2+ 4x - 3x-3  + 1\\=x-2

The equation of the line which should be drawn is: y=x-2

What this means is simply:

If

y = x^2 - 3x + 1$ and $y=x-2,$ then:\\x^2 - 3x + 1=x-2\\x^2 - 3x + 1-x+2=0\\x^2 - 4x + 3=0
